Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

$P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T$ (1)

Where:

$P$ - Pressure.

$V$ - Volume.

$n$ - Molar quantity, in moles.

$R_{u}$ - Ideal gas constant.

$T$ - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

$P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}$ (2)

If we know that $\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}$ , then the resulting pressure of the system is:

$P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}$

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.
