Savitha, a XI standard student, while conducting an experiment to determine the effective length of a simple pendulum L, notes down the data of time taken to complete 30 oscillations as 60 s and hence calculates the length of the simple pendulum as : (Take π2 = 9.8, and g = 9.8 m/s2)
1 m
\(\text{ Time period is }2\sec\)
\(\mathrm{T}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{ℓ}{\mathrm{g}}}\)
\(2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{ℓ}{{\pi }^{2}}}\)
\(ℓ\approx 1\mathrm{m}\)
The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of a simple pendulum bob is 0.02 joule. The speed of the simple pendulum bob at equilibrium position is approximately : (Consider mass of the bob = 20 g)
1.41 m/s
Total energy
(1/2)KA² = 0.02 J
(1/2)mω²A² = 0.02 J
(1/2)m\({V}_{max}^{2}\) = 0.02 J
\({V}_{max}^{2}\) = 0.04 / (20 × 10⁻³) = 2
Vmax = 1.41 m/s
The two-dimensional motion of a particle, described by \(\vec{\mathrm{r}}=(\hat{i}+2\hat{j})\mathrm{Acos}\omega t\) is a/an:
A. parabolic path
B. elliptical path
C. periodic motion
D. simple harmonic motion
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
C and D only
\(\vec{r}=(\hat{i}+2\hat{j})A\cos \omega t\)
\(x=A\cos \omega t\)
