Answer:

The motion of a simple pendulum is very close to Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). SHM results whenever a restoring force is proportional to the displacement, a relationship often known as Hooke's Law when applied to springs. Where F is the restoring force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.

where θ is the angle the pendulum makes with the vertical. For small angles, sin(θ)∼θ, which would then lead to simple harmonic motion. For large angles, this approximation no longer holds, and the motion is not considered to be simple harmonic motion.

An object will maintain a constant speed until a force acts on it true or false
Scorpion4ik [409]
<span>You do not require a force to keep something moving.  You only require a force to get it moving.  Or to stop it moving.  In your everyday experiences, something you get moving seems to come to a stop after you stop pushing it.  It is because there are forces (friction) that make it stop.  Without those forces, the object would just keep moving. So this would mean the answer would be True.</span>

At a sports car rally, a car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5 m/s/s over a straight-line distance of 291
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

10.8 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s/s

Distance travelled (s) = 291 m

Time (t) taken =?

We can calculate the time taken for the car to cover the distance as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

291 = 0 × t + ½ × 5 × t²

291 = 0 + 2.5 × t²

291 = 2.5 × t²

Divide both side by 2.5

t² = 291 / 2.5

t² = 116.4

Take the square root of both side

t = √116.4

t = 10.8 s

Thus, it will take the car 10.8 s to cover the distance.
