A student tries to measure the period of a pendulum that is already swinging left and right. At the moment when the pendulum is fully to the left, she

counts 'One' and starts a stopwatch. She counts successive swings each time

that the pendulum returns to the left. When she counts ‘Ten' she stops the

stopwatch, and sees that it reads 12.0 s.

a. What was her mistake?



b. What is the period of swing of this pendulum?



c. In this particular experiment, explain the likely effect of her reaction time

on her answer.

a. The student's mistake was that the student did not swing the pendulum and start the watch at the same time.

b. 1.2 s per swing.

c. The likely effect of her reaction time is that they will should subtract two seconds off the time.

Explanation:

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

answer

the arrows to the right of earth should point up.
