Answer:
d) shortening the string
Explanation:
Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.
When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.
This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.
The answer is 21m because the motion is in one dimension with constant acceleration.
The initial velocity is 0, because it started from rest, the acceleration <span>ax</span> is <span>4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span></span>, and the time t is <span>3.0s</span>
Plugging in our known values, we have
<span>Δx=<span>(0)</span><span>(3.0s)</span>+<span>12</span><span>(4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span>)</span><span><span>(3.0s)</span>2</span>=<span>21<span>m</span></span></span>
