<h2>The acceleration of gravity at the location is 9.64 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

Length of pendulum = 2.5 m

Time taken for 5 swings = 16 seconds

Time taken for 1 swing = 3.2 seconds

Period of pendulum = 3.2 seconds.

We have equation for period of simple pendulum as

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

Where l is the length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\3.2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2.5}{g}}\\\\g=\frac{4\pi^2 \times 2.5}{3.2^2}\\\\g=9.64m/s^2$

The acceleration of gravity at the location is 9.64 m/s²

If a rainstorm drops 5 cm of rain over an area of 13 km2 in the period of 3 hours, what is the momentum (in kg · m/s) of the rai

stiks02 [169]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Conservation of linear Moment.

The expression that defines the linear momentum is expressed as

P=mv

Where,

m=mass

v= velocity

According to our data we have to

v=10m/s

d=0.05m

$A=13*10^6m^2$

Volume $(V) = A*d = (15*10^6)(0.03) = 3.9*10^5m^3$

t = 3hours=10800s

$\rho = 1000kg/m^3$

From the given data we can calculate the volume of rain for 5 seconds

$V' = \frac{V}{t}*\Delta t_{total}$

Where,

$\Delta t_{total}$ It is the period of time we want to calculate total rainfall, that is

$V' = \frac{3.9*10^5}{10800}*5$

$V' = 1.805*10^2m^3$

Through water density we can now calculate the mass that fell during the 5 seconds:

$m' = V'*\rho$

$m' = 1.805*10^2*1000$

$m' = 1.805*10^5m^2$

Now applying the prevailing equation given we have to

$P=m'v$

$P = (1.805*10^5)(10)$

$P = 1.805*10^6 Kg.m/s$

Therefore the momentum of the rain that falls in five seconds is $1.805*10^6 Kg.m/s$

If the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon is $8.98\times 10^{-12} C$

Explanation:

Electric field E at a point due to a point charge is given by

$E=k \frac{q}{r^2}$

where $k$ is the constant = $9.0 \times 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2$

$q$ is the magnitude of point charge and $r$ is the distance from the point charge

Charges entering one meter of axon is $5.\times 10^{11} \times (+e)$

Charges entering 0.100 mm of axon is $5.\times 10^{11} \times (+e) \times (0.1 \times 10^{-3}$

substituting the value of $+e=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$ in above equation, we get charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon is

$q=5.\times 10^{11} \times1.6\times 10^{-19} \times (0.1 \times 10^{-3}\\q=8.98\times 10^{-12} C$
