Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00°C. It can be
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The period will change a 0,036 % relative to its initial state

Explanation:

When the rod expands by heat its moment of inertia increases, but since there was no applied rotational force to the pendulum , the angular momentum remains constant. In other words:

ζ= Δ(Iω)/Δt, where ζ is the applied torque, I is moment of inertia, ω is angular velocity and t is time.

since there was no torque ( no rotational force applied)

ζ=0 → Δ(Iω)=0 → I₂ω₂ -I₁ω₁ = 0 → I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

thus

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ , (2) represents final state and (1) initial state

we know also that ω=2π/T , where T is the period of the pendulum

I₂/I₁ =ω₁/ω₂ = (2π/T₁)/(2π/T₂)= T₂/T₁

Therefore to calculate the change in the period we have to calculate the moments of inertia. Looking at tables, can be found that the moment of inertia of a rod that rotates around an end is

I = 1/3 ML²

Therefore since the mass M is the same before and after the expansion

I₁ = 1/3 ML₁² , I₂ = 1/3 ML₂²  → I₂/I₁ = (1/3 ML₂²)/(1/3 ML₁²)= L₂²/L₁²= (L₂/L₁)²

since

L₂= L₁ (1+αΔT) , L₂/L₁=1+αΔT  , where ΔT is the change in temperature

now putting all together

T₂/T₁=I₂/I₁=(L₂/L₁)² = (1+αΔT) ²

finally

%change in period =(T₂-T₁)/T₁ = T₂/T₁ - 1 = (1+αΔT) ² -1

%change in period =(1+αΔT) ² -1 =[ 1+18×10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ *10 °C]² -1 = 3,6 ×10⁻⁴ = 3,6 ×10⁻² %  = 0,036 %

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}     (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg    (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

Consider an insulated tank with a volume V = 2 L is separated into two equal-volume parts by a thin wall. On the left is an idea
steposvetlana [31]

Answer

given,

V = 2 L

the left is an ideal gas at  P = 100 k Pa and T = 500 K

mass is constant

 m_1 = m_2

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1} = \dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

Pressure is same because it's not changing due to process

\dfrac{V}{500} = \dfrac{2 V}{T_2}

T_2 = 1000\ K

\Delta S_{univ} = \Delta S_{sys} + (\Delta S)_{surr}

\Delta S_{univ} =m(C_v ln (\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}))+ R ln (\dfrac{V_2}{V_1})

m = \dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}

m = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3 \times 2 \times 10^{-3}}{287\times 500}

m = 1.39 x 10⁻³ Kg

\Delta S_{univ} =1.39\times 10^{-3}(0.718 ln\ 2+ 0.287 ln (2)

\Delta S_{univ} =0.968\times 10^{-3}\ kJ/K
