Answer:

a. 86.80 m

b. i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

Explanation:

a. Determine the height of the smokestack.

Using T = 2π√(L/g) where T = period of pendulum = 18.7 s, L = length of pendulum = height of smokestack and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, making L subject of the formula, we have

T = 2π√(L/g)

T/2π = √(L/g)

squaring both sides, we have

(T/2π)² = L/g

L = (T/2π)²g

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = (T/2π)²g

L = (18.7 s/2π)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = (2.976 s)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = 8.857 s² × 9.8 m/s²

L = 86.796 m

L ≅ 86.80 m

b. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

The factors that influence the period of a simple pendulum are

i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

How does the north pole of a magnet respond to the poles of other magnets?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A magnet has a magnetic field around it which originates at the north pole and enters through the south pole.

In a magnet, like poles will repel each other and unlike poles will attract.

  • The north pole of one magnet will repel another north pole of another magnet.
  • North pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet.
  • This is the law of attraction and repulsion of magnet.
