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}

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.
Nikolay [14]

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

For the following questions, imagine the book drops in free fall and falls a distance d. For the system of the book and earth, t
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

C) is zero

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation, the total mechanical energy of the object is conserved. A book falling a distance d would have a change in potential energy, resulting in the same change in kinetic energy. But the total mechanical energy must be the same. So there's 0 change in total energy of the system.
