Pendulum equations - HELP review work, out sick

AI Thread Summary
To find the period of a pendulum that makes thirty oscillations in 75 seconds, divide the total time by the number of oscillations, resulting in a period of 2.5 seconds. The period is defined as the time taken for one complete oscillation. The user is seeking assistance with pendulum equations after being out sick and missing class. They express urgency in needing help with the related homework questions. Understanding the period calculation is essential for solving similar problems.

Pendulum equations - HELP! review work, out sick

Homework Statement


What is the period ofa pendulum which makes thirty oscillations in 75.0 seconds?


Homework Equations


HELP!
T = [l]\frac{}{}[/f]

This is what I need!


The Attempt at a Solution


t=[75]\frac{}{}[/30] = 2.5


I was out for an entire week, and the teacher sent home a sheet full of questions like this. I don't have any of the equations though. Help please!?

The period is the time it takes a pendulum to complete one oscillation. If it makes 30 in 75 seconds how long will it take to do one?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
