Algebra.Com's Answer #814807 by Theo(13342) You can put this solution on YOUR website! the length of the pendulum is 1 meter. \n" ); document.write( "the pendulum swings through an angle of 360 degrees to make the circumference of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "the formula for the circumference of the circles is 2 * pi * r. \n" ); document.write( "when r = 1, the circumference is equal to 2 * pi. \n" ); document.write( "when the pendulum swings through an angle of 60 degrees, then it is swinging through an arc that is 60/360 = 1/6 * the circumference of the circle. \n" ); document.write( "the pendulum therefore swings through an arc of 1/6 * 2 * pi = 2/6 * pi = 1/3 * pi. \n" ); document.write( "your answer is that the pendulum swings through a distance of 1/3 * pi meters from one extreme point to another.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
