The length to which the pendulum will be adjusted to keep perfect time is 29.59 inches. See the explanation below.

<h3>What is the justification for the above answer?</h3>

T1 = 2πR√(L1/GM)

and

T2 = 2πR√(L1/GM)

T1/T2 = √(L1/L2).

If the pendulum has an efficient period, that means it executes with perfect frequency.

Thus,

T2 = (24 * 60)/x

= 1440/x

This means that in one day, there are perfect cycles of represented by "x". Note that there are 1440 minutes in one day.

If the other Pendulum is slower by 10 minutes, that means

T1 = 1450/x

Hence

(1450/x)/(1440/x) = √(L1/L2).

⇒ 1450/1440 = √(L1/L2).

Thus,

(1450/1440)² = 30/L

L = 30/(1450/1440)²

L = 30/(1.00694444444)²

L = 30/1.01393711419

L = 29.5876337695

L $\approx$ 29.59 inches.

Hence, the pendulum will need to be adjusted by 29.59 inches to ensure that the clock keeps perfect time.

A concrete piling of 50 kg is suspended from a steel wire of diameter 1.0 mm and length 11.2 m. How much will the wire stretch?
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of concrete pilling, m = 50 kg

Diameter of wire, d = 1 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.0005 m

Length of wire, L = 11.2

Young modulus of steel, Y=20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

The young modulus of a wire is given by :

Y=\dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}}

Y=\dfrac{F.L}{A\Delta L}

\Delta L=\dfrac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\dfrac{50\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 11.2\ m}{\pi (0.0005\ m)^2\times 20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2}

\Delta L=0.034\ m

So, the wire will stretch 0.034 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Antireflection coatings can be used on the inner surfaces of eyeglasses to reduce the reflection of stray light into the eye, th
Basile [38]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

Using the formula for destructive interference since the two reflected ray light waves from eyeglass should be made to cancel each other ( destructive interference) and also refractive index of air less than the refractive index of the film and both are less than the refractive index of the glass meaning the both reflected rays from the air and film will experience a phase change

n film =  ( m + 0.5) ( λ / 2t)

since 2 t = ( m + 0.5) ( λ / n film)

where m is an integer, λ is wavelength, and t is thickness  and n film is the refractive index of film

for effectiveness m = 0

n film = ( 0.5) ( 480 ÷ (2 × 90 ) ) = 1.33

Which refers to the measure of the amount of water vapor in yhe air?<br>​
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity. This amount of space in air that can hold water changes depending on the temperature and pressure.

Why can voyager 1 maintain its speed?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

based on my opinion

The smart guys at NASA designed the trajectory such that as they passed Jupiter, they gained some speed by being dragged along by Jupiter

This is called a gravity assist . Voyager 2 picked up about 18 km / s of velocity from that Jupiter gravity assist ...
