James Bond is rappelling down a cliff face to infiltrate an enemy base, but there is a gust of wind, and he starts swinging side to side. If he makes a 45 m pendulum once you factor in the length of the rope, how long does it take for him to complete a full oscillation? He'll need to know this so that he can time his distraction of the guards

Answer:

13.46 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes James Bond to complete one full oscillation is the period of a pendulum of length, l which is, T = 2π√(l/g) where l = length of pendulum = length of rope = 45 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(l/g)

= 2π√(45 m/9.8m/s²)

= 2π√(4.592s²)

= 2π × 2.143

= 13.46 s

So, it takes 13.46 s for him to complete one full oscillation.
