A grandfather clock keeps time using a pendulum consisting of a light rod connected to a small heavy mass. With a rod of length

L, the period of oscillation is 2.00 s. What should the length of the rod be for the period of the oscillations to be 1.00 s?

Answer:

The length of the rod should be

\frac{L}{4} \\

Explanation:

Period of simple pendulum is given by

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

We have

\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}\\\\\frac{2^2}{1^2}=\frac{L}{l_2}\\\\l_2=\frac{L}{4} \\

The length of the rod should be

\frac{L}{4} \\

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

Equilibrium position in y direction:

W = Fb (Weight of the block is equal to buoyant force)

m*g = V*p*g

V under water = A*h

hence,

m = A*h*p

Using Newton 2nd Law

-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = Fb - W\\\\-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = p*g*(h+y)*A - A*h*p*g\\\\-A*h*p*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = y *p*A*g\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \frac{g}{h} * y =0

Hence, T time period

T = 2*pi*sqrt ( h / g )

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

the net toque is τ=8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m

Explanation:

Assuming the disk has constant density ρ, the moment of inertia I of is

I = ∫r² dm

since m = ρ*V = ρπR² h , then dm= 2ρπh r dr

thus

I = ∫r²dm = ∫r²2ρπh r dr =2ρπh ∫r³ dr = 2ρπh (R⁴/4- 0⁴/4)= ρπhR⁴ /2= mR²/2

replacing values

I = mR²/2= 0.017 kg * (0.06 m)²/2 = 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²

from Newton's second law applied to rotational motion

τ= Iα , where τ=net torque and α= angular acceleration

since the angular velocity ω is related with the angular acceleration through

ω= ωo + α*t → α =(ω-ωo)/t =  (21 rad/s-0)/0.8 s = 26.25 rad/s²

therefore

τ= Iα= 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²*26.25 rad/s² = 8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m

How does an environmental change (ex. hurricane, drought, etc.) affect the organisms that are adapted to the environment before
rjkz [21]
The environmental changes can will negatively affect different organisms differently, for example some organisms might die due to failure of the organisms to adapt to the new changes. Some organisms will be forced to migrate in order to counter these changes, this may lead to this organisms leaving their old living routine and adapt to the new methods of living, this may lead to evolution caused by new environment.
