Can you provide the multiple choices ?
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (
), and your given distance of
, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using
, is
. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using
, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is
6.405 min.
Answer:
<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>
Explanation:
<u>Simple Pendulum</u>
A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.
The period of a simple pendulum is given by
Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.
If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:
Taking out the square root of 9 (3):
Substituting the original T:
The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T
