You build a grandfather clock, whose timing is based on a pendulum. You measure its period to be 2s on Earth. You then travel wi

th the clock to the distant planet CornTeen and measure the period of the clock to be 4s. By what factor is the gravitational acceleration constant g different on planet CornTeen compared to g on Earth

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Motor

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In motors, electric energy is converted into mechanic energy when a magnetic torque acts on a conductor that carries a current. There are different types of motors like DC and AC motors. The moving part of a motor is called the rotor while the stationary part is called stator

11. You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, wh
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The displacement was 320 meters.

Explanation:

Assuming projectile motion and zero initial speed (i.e., the object was dropped, not thrown down), you can calculate the displacement using the kinematic equation:

d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}10\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 8^2 s^2=320 m

The displacement was 320 meters.

An example of a high energy electromagnetic wave is
Wewaii [24]
<span>An example of a high energy electromagnetic wave is "X-Ray"

When car runs, it's chemical energy (gasoline) converts into mechanical energy

Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness of the body, so when heat expose to a substance, it's degree of hotness increases & it's temperature increases

Hope this helps!

How do you solve for a net force
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Learning the formula.multiply mass accelebrations.the force(F)required to move an object of mass(M) with an acceleration (a) is given by the formula F = m x a.so, force = mass multiplied by accelebration.

An electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.
snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

           Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

                                             (12 V)  x  (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

           (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min)  =  21,600 joules
