A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci

rcuit that keeps it oscillating with a constant amplitude. When the circuit is turned off, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 50% in 37 minutes.
a. What is the pendulum's time constant?



b. How much additional time elapses before the amplitude decreases to 25% of its initial value?

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!

A water tank is filled with up to 3.5 m height.Calculate the pressure given by the tank at its bottom​
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

96.04Pa

Explanation:

height=3.5m

gravity=9.8%

density=9.8/3.5

=2.8

Preassure=h×g×d

=3.5×9.8×2.8

=96.04Pa

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
