An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.

So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

In a grandfather clock, the second hand moves forward by one second for each half period of the clock’s pendulum.
Maurinko [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to simple pendulum, i.e., a point mass that is suspended from a weightless string. Such a pendulum moves in a harmonic motion -the oscillations repeat regularly, and kineticenergy is transformed into potntial energy and vice versa.

In the given problem half of the period is equivalent to 1 second so the pendulum period is,

T= 2s

From the equations describing the period of a simple pendulum you have to

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where

g= gravity

L = Length

T = Period

Re-arrange to find L we have

L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}

Replacing the values,

L = \frac{(9.8)(2)^2}{4\pi^2}

L = 0.99m

In the case of the reduction of gravity because the pendulum is in another celestial body, as the moon for example would happen that,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g/6}}

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{6L}{g}}

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{6*0.99}{9.8}}

T  = 4.89s

In this way preserving the same length of the rope but decreasing the gravity the Period would increase considerably.

What happens if both the maximum voltage and current are exceeded and 10W of power must be dissipated?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

If both the maximum voltage and current are exceeded  in a resistor, that the point will lie in the thermal breakdown of the resistor.

Explanation:

This indicated that there will be an abundance of free electrons which will be available freely. This abundance of the electrons in a conductor,  will result in the reduction of the overall conductivity. whereas in an insulator or semiconductor this will enhance the overall conductivity.

As the point lies in the thermal breakdown, the Ohm's law is no longer valid and thus no analytical solution can be presented in this regard.

A small candle is 34 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 22 cm. Where will the image of the candle be locat
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

16.26 cm in front of the mirror

Explanation:

Using,

1/f = 1/u+1/v....................... Equation 1

Where f = focal focal length of the concave mirror, u = object distance, v = image distance.

make v the subject of the equation

v = fu/(u-f)................... Equation 2

Note: The focal length of a concave mirror is positive

Using the real- is- positive convention

Given: f = 22/2 = 11 cm, u = 34 cm.

Substitute into equation 2

v = (34×11)/(34-11)

v = 374/23

v = 16.26 cm.

The image will be formed 16.26 cm in front of the mirror.
