A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end

of a string.A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end of a string.The motion of this pendulum can be sped up by:- shortening the string.- lengthening the string.- increasing the mass of the bob.- decreasing the mass of the bob.

Answer:

shortening the string

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period of a pendulum is given by

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

T\propto \sqrt{L}

It can be seen that time period is proportional to the length of the pendulum.

The time period is getting longer.

So, if the length of the string is reduced this will speed up the time period.

A spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m. is stretched 4.00 cm. what is the work required to stretch the spring?
Yuri [45]
W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.

A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz
Natali [406]

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, \bar f is given by

\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s} where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and V_s is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s
