Answer: 187.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Time period T=27.5\ s

The time period of a pendulum is given by

\Rightarrow T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where L=height of tower

Put values

\Rightarrow 27.5=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.8}}\\\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{27.5^2\times 9.8}{(2\pi )^2}=187.68\ m

viktelen [127]
1000 miles = 1610km = 1.61x10^6m
2 weeks = 14 days = 14x24x1440

V=d/t = 1.61x10^6/14x24x1440
= 3.33m/s

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°
