<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.

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal
kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

A train on a straight track goes in the positive direction for 5.9 km, and then backs up for 3.8 km
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

2.1km

Explanation:

Ill take it as u are talking about the displacement

Since displacement has negatives and positves

5.9 - 3.8 = 2.1km
