How to do this. HELP!!!!!!

Q: A conical pendulum consists of a small massive bob hung from a light string of length 1m and rotating in a horizontal circle of radius 30cm. Deduce the speed for rotation in revolutiona per minute.

Both inverting and non-inverting amplifiers work on negative feedback where part of the output is fed back to the inverting terminal.
Does that mean in both type of amplifiers, the gain is reduced?

As you know that feather is falling in a vaccum, so there'll be no air resistance.

The initial velocity will be equal to 0 as it falls from rest. The time taken to fall the distance 'L' is T.
So substitute this given info in to the equation of motion:

s= ut+0.5at^2

L = 0.5a(T^2)
make a the subject.
a = 2L/T^2 ----- equ (1)

Now we're asked what distance it woul cover in 0.5T. So again substitute the values in the equation of motion but this time using t=0.5T

so,

new distance = ut +0.5at^2
= (0)(0.5T) + 0.5a((0.5T)^2) ---- equ(2)

substitute a = 2L/T^2 from equ (1) into equ (2):

new distance = 0.5(2L/T^2)((0.5T)^2)
solving it would give :

new distance = 0.25L

So B is the answer.

Look, from the graph, at t=o, the vertical component of the ball's velocity is 5.9 ms^-1.

View attachment 58664

^ so we're given this info, that i've drawn on the figure.

For finding Vh, apply tan

tan 60° = 5.9/vh

vh = 5.9 / tan 60°
vh = 3.4 ms^-1 Ans.


thanx ... i just realised what i had done....i was doing the same calculation but my calculator was in a different mode .. :D soo sorry for the trouble!

An experiment is carried out to measure the resistance of a wire. The current in the wire is (1.0 ± 0.2)A and the potential difference across the wire is (8.0 ± 0.4)V. What is the resistance of the wire and its uncertainty?
A (8.0 ± 0.2)Ω
B (8.0 ± 0.6)Ω
C (8 ± 1)Ω
D (8 ± 2)Ω
