What is the purpose of a reference point?

Physics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point.

A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time.(ii) Suppose a grandfather clock is calibrated corr
ANEK [815]

The grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

<h3>What is Time Period of an oscillation?</h3>
  • The time period of an oscillation refers to the time taken by an object to complete one oscillation.
  • It is the inverse of frequency of oscillation; denoted by "T".

Now,

  • \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}, where L is the length and g is the gravitational constant, is the formula for a pendulum's period.
  • The period will increase as one climbs a very tall mountain because g will slightly decrease.
  • Due to this and the previous issue, the clock runs slowly and it seems that one second is longer than it actually is.

Hence, the grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

Part 1 - Basic Equations
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

1. λ = 2 L, 2.  v = 2L f₁ , 3.    v = √ T /μ², 4.   μ = 2,287 10⁻³ kg / m , 5.   Δv / v = 0.058 , 6.    Δμ /  μ = 0.12 , 7. Δ μ = 0.3  10⁻³ kg / m ,

8.  μ = (2.3 ±0.3)  10⁻³ kg / m

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is

            v = λ f                1

Where f is the frequency and λ the wavelength

     

The speed is given by the physical quantities of the system with the expression

            v = √ T /μ²                   2

1) The fundamental frequency of a string is when at the ends we have nodes and a maximum in the center, therefore this is

                 L = λ / 2

                 λ = 2 L

2) For this we substitute in equation 1

              v = 2L f₁

3) let's clear from equation 2

             

The speed of a wave is

            v = λ f₁

Where f is the frequency and Lam the wavelength

The speed is given by the physical quantities of the system with the expression

           v = √ T /μ²                            2

4) linear density is

           μ = T / (2 L f₁)²

           μ = 5.08 / (2 0.812 29.02)²

           μ = 2,287 10⁻³ kg / m

We maintain three significant length figures, so the result is reduced to

           μ = 2.29 10⁻³ kg / m

5) the speed of the wave is

            v = 2 L f₁

The fractional uncertainty is

         Δv / v = ΔL / L + Δf₁ / F₁

         Δv / v = 0.02 / 0.812 + 1 / 29.02

         Δv / v = 0.024 + 0.034

         Δv / v = 0.058

6) the equation for linear density is

              μ = T / (2 L f₁)²

             Δμ / μ = 2 ΔL / L + 2Δf₁ / f₁

The tension is an exact value therefore its uncertainty is zero ΔT = 0

            Δμ / μ = 2 0.02 / 0.812 + 2 1 / 29.02

             Δμ /  μ = 0.12

7) absolute uncertainty

           Δ μ = e_{r}   μ

           Δ μ = 0.12 2.29 10⁻³ kg / m

           Δ μ = 0.3  10⁻³ kg / m

8)

           μ = (2.3 ±0.3)  10⁻³ kg / m

A push or a pull on an object is known as a(n)
balu736 [363]
Force is a push or a pull of an object that causes the object to speed up, slow down, or stay in one place. In other words, a force is what causes an object to move. Friction and gravity are two types of forces that influence how an object moves.

Hope I can help you!
