Answer:

So a=3.844 and b=5
Explanation:
Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:

with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)
Answer:
d) shortening the string
Explanation:
Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.
When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.
This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.
Because it doesn't use energy it uses mechanical and kinetic
