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.

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there
notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

t is time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h

So, the required time is 2 hours.

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)
