Using some basic properties from physics and some small angle approximations, one can quickly arrive at the formula
T=2π√(L/g)
Where T is the period of a pendulum in seconds, L is its length in meters, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s²). If you square both sides of this equation, you can quickly derive that
T²=4π²*L/g
Then, if you rearrange this so that L is alone on the left hand side, you will find that
L=g*T²/(4π²)
The slope of this line is everything that is multiplying the T² term, or just g/(4π²).

What is the relationship between the period and the lengthof a pendulum using logarithms?
The relationship between log(period) and log(length) is linear, with slope 0.5 and intercept log(2*pi/sqrt(g))
How do you find the length of a leg on a right triangle when one leg and the slope of the hypotenuse is given?
Use tangent. Your equation will be tan(slope of hypotenuse) = opposite side / adjacent side. it's easier if you just do A squared plus b squared equals c squared. Then subtitute the numbers gived in.
How do you figure out the IMA of a inclined plane?
length of slope/ height of slope
How do you find area of a right triangle with leg having a length of 6 and l?
The Following Formula Is used to determine the area of any triangle. "Height" multiplied by "BASE" divided by two = area, more simply (Height x Base)/2=Area So in this Equation (6x1)/2=3 which is the area. With the length 6 and the length 1 being at a 90 degree angle With right triangles "only" you can determine the length of the slope using Triangulation Also known as the Pythagorean Theorem ( "a" squared x 'B' squared = "c" squared
What is a road on a slope?
When determining the measurement of slope on a road, the equations are for grade (gradient). The formula is grade = (rise ÷ slope length) * 100

What kind of graph would result if the period of the pendulum T were graphed as a function of the square root of the length of the pendulum?
With a simple pendulum, provided the angular displacement is less than pi/8 radians (22.5 degrees) it will be a straight line, through the origin, with a slope of 2*pi/sqrt(g) where g is the acceleration due to gravity ( = 9.8 mtres/sec^2, approx). For larger angular displacements the approximations used in the derivation of the formula no longer work and the error is over 1%.

What is the slope of the tangent line at x squared plus 2x?
Differentiate term by term. d/dx[X2 + 2X) = 2X + 2 slope(m) = 2 ------------------
What equation does the height vs time squared graph represent?
The slope of height vs. time squared graph equals (g) - acceleration due to gravity divided by two. In symbols m = g/2, where m is the slope and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
What is the motion of a pendulum in water?
The motion of a pendulum in water will be similar to what it is in air, except it will move more slowly and loose energy much more rapidly (unless something with some "power" is keeping it going). The speed of the pendulum should graph like a sine wave with the peaks and troughs denoting the endpoints of the travel of the pendulum in its arc. The slope of the curve at any point will represent the instantaneous acceleration. If the pendulum is released and no energy is put in from outside, the graph of the speed will diminish very quickly and dramatically.
