We have to speed up the watch so we need to decrease time period of pendulum. So we hv to reduce the length.

Answer:

Pendulum should be decreased to 0.9914m

Explanation:

The clock losses 60seconds per day.

In a day,there are 24×60×60=86400seconds/day

The period T= 2pisqrt(L/g)

T= 2×3.142sqrt(0.9930/9.8)

T= 2.00005277seconds

Error ratio=60/86400= 6.94×10^-4

Terror= 2.00005277×6.94×10^-4=1.389×10^-3seconds

Tcorrect=Toriginal -T error

Tcorrect= 2.00005277- 1.389×10^-3=1.998seconds

T=2pisqrt(L/g)

Solving for L

T/2pi = sqrt(L/g)

T^2/(2pi)^2=(L/g)

L =( g× T^2) / (2pi)^2

L= (9.8×(1.9987)^2/(2×3.142)^2

L = 39.188/39.4887

L = 0.9914m

Pendulum should be decreased to 0.9914m.

We have a toy gun with a spring constant of 50 N/m. The spring is compressed by 0.2 m. If you neglect friction and the mass of t
Arisa [49]

Answer:

31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by Us=\frac{1}{2}kx^2, where k is the spring constant of the spring and x is displacement from point of equilibrium.

When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is the object's velocity.

Thus, we have:

Us=KE,\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting given values, we get:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\cdot 0.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 0.002\cdot v^2,\\v^2=\frac{50\cdot 0.2^2}{0.002},\\v^2=1000,\\v\approx \boxed{31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}}

A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 240\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam l=2\ m

mass of beam m=5\ kg

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2
