Grandfather clocks are designed so they can be adjusted by moving the weight at the bottom of the pendulum up or down. Suppose y

ou have a grandfather clock at home that runs fast. Which of the following adjustments of the weight would make it more accurate? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
1. Decrease the amplitude of swing by a small amount.
2. Remove some mass from the weight.
3. Lower the weight.
4. Raise the weight.
5. Add more mass to the weight.

Answer:

3. Lower the weight.

Explanation:

The time period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where,

L = Length of pendulum

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

It can be seen from the equation that the time period depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet is constant so the time period is proportional to the length of the pendulum.

T\propto \sqrt{L}

Here, the time period has reduced as the clock runs fast.

So, in order to increase the time period we have to lower the weight.

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs _____.
babymother [125]

A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs slowly.

Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.

Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.

Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.

A ball rolls off a table and it traveling with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and 1 point
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The velocity when the ball hits the ground is obtained using v2. 2 = v1. 2 + 2 g Dy with v1=0 and Dy=h. Thus solving for v2 yields 17.1 m/s v2 = 2 g h =.

A 11kg block slides up a 30° inclined plane at a constant velocity. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied force is 94.74 N

Explanation:

Mass of the block, m = 11 kg

Angle of inclination of the plane, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Friction coefficient, \mu_{k} = 0.2

Now,

Normal force that acts on the block is given by:

F_{N} = mgcos\theta + Fsin\theta           (1)

Now, to maintain the equilibrium parallel to ramp the forces must be balanced.

Thus

Fcos\theta = \mu_{k}F_{N}                       (2)

From eqn (1) and (2)

Fcos\theta = \mu_{k}(mgcos\theta + Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu_{k}sin\theta) = \mu_{k}mgcos\theta

F = \frac{\mu_{k}mgcos\theta}{cos\theta - \mu_{k}sin\theta}

F = \frac{0.2\times 11\times 9.8cos30^{\circ}}{cos30^{\circ} - 0.2\times sin30^{\circ}}

F = 94.74 N

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.
Ksju [112]
 <span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now. 
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed] 
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>
