Textbook Question

Chapter 14, Problem 10Q

A 100-g mass hangs from a long cord forming a pendulum. The mass is pulled a short distance to one side and released from rest. The time to swing over and back is carefully measured to be 2.0 s. If the 100-g mass is replaced by a 200-g mass, which is then pulled over the same distance and released from rest, the time will be (a) 1.0 s, (b) 1.41 s, (c) 2.0 s, (d) 2.82 s, (e) 4.0 s.

Students have asked these similar questions

Race car driver is cruising down the street at a constant speed of 28.9 m/s (~65 mph; he has a “lead” foot) when the traffic light in front of him turns red. a) If the driver’s reaction time is 160 ms, how far does he and his car travel down the road from the instant he sees the light change to the instant he begins to slow down? b) If the driver’s combined reaction and movement time is 750 ms, how far do he and his car travel down the road from the instant he sees the light change to the instant he slams on her brakes and car begins to slow down? Please answer parts a-B. Show all work. For each question draw a diagram to show the vector/s. Show all the step and provide units in the answers. Provide answer to 2 decimal places. DONT FORGET TO DRAW VECTORS! ONLY USE BASIC FORMULAS TAUGHT IN PHYSICS. distance = speed * time.

Please answer parts a-c. Show all work. For each question draw a diagram to show the vector/s. Show all the step and provide units in the answers. Provide answer to 2 decimal places unless stated otherwise.…

How is it that part a is connected to part b? I can't seem to solve either part and don't see the connection between the two.
