<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

When an elevator moves upward with consonant acceleration a, the overall acceleration on the body is given by

                        a' = a + g

So acceleration of pendulum is a + g.

We have equation for period of simple pendulum

                     T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{a'}}

In normal case a' = g here a' is more.

From the equation we can see that period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration.

Since acceleration increases period decreases.

Option A is the correct answer.

Answer:

A)The period decreases.

Explanation:

Given that

Length of the pendulum = L

Time period = T ( at rest condition)

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g_{eff}}}

At rest condition only gravitational acceleration g act downward.

At rest g_{eff}=g

T_{at\ rest}=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

When acceleration will move upward with acceleration a ,then

g_{eff}=g+a

T_{at\ motion}=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g+a}}

Therefore we can say that time period of the pendulum will decrease ,because g+a is more than g.

Whose definition of acids and bases emphasizes the role of protons
torisob [31]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry

Explanation:

Acid is defined as a proton donor.

While base is a proton acceptor

What is an acid An acid

An acid is a substance that donates protons or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond

What is a base?

A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P  ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}

6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

A phonograph record 0.15 m in its radius rotates 18 times per 90 seconds what is the frequency?
ioda

Answer:

The frequency of the phonograph record is 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of an object moving in uniform circular motion is the number of completed cycles the object makes in a specified time period

The given parameters of the phonograph record are;

The radius of the record = 0.15 m

The number of times the phonograph record rotates, n = 18 times

The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times, t = 90 seconds

The frequency of the phonograph record, f = (The number of times the phonograph record rotates) ÷ (The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times)

∴ The frequency of the phonograph record, f = n/t = 18/(90 s) = 0.2 Hz

The frequency of the phonograph record = 0.2 Hz.
