Suppose that you are on an unknown planet in a distant galaxy. Let the length of a physical pendulum be 1.02 m. In the physical

pendulum experiment, the period is determined to be 0.25 s.

Answer: acceleration due gravity = 619.5 m/s²

Explanation: The relationship between the period of a pendulum, length and acceleration due to gravity is given as

T =2π * (√l/g)

T = period = 0.25s

l = length of pendulum = 1.02m

g = acceleration due to gravity on the unknown planet

0.25 = 2π * (√1.02/g)

By squaring both sides, we have that

0.25² = 4π² * (1.02/g)

0.25² * g = 4π² * 1.02

g = 4π² * 1.02/ 0.25²

g = 40.26756/ 0.0625

g = 619.5m/s²

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration a_c, so:

a_c = w^2r

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

a_c = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2\pi)= 1.976 rpm

Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Unclear question. The clear rendering reads;

"Into a U-tube containing mercury, pour on the other side sulfuric acid of density 1.84 and on the other side alcohol of density 0.8 so that the levels are in the same horizontal plane. The height of the acid above the mercury being 24 cm. What is the height of the bar and what variation of the level of the acid, when the mercury density is 13.6?

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

Dinosaurs’ skeletons can be distinguished from those of other reptiles by the structure of the hips and legs.
jeyben [28]
True, they had a hole in their hip socket that allowed them to run faster than other reptiles of their size at the time. As well as most reptiles besides reptiles had legs to the side, rather than under them like dinosaurs did.

Hope this helps!

] A new coal-fired 750 MWe power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, which contains 1.1% sulfur. a. I
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr

Explanation:

Given that:

The power or the power plant = 750 MWe

Since the power plant with a thermal efficiency of 42% (i.e. 0.42) burns 9000 Btu/lb coal, Then the energy released per one lb of the coal can be computed as:

\mathtt{=( 0.42\times 9000\times 1055.06) J}

= 3988126.8  J

= 3.99 MJ

Also, The mass of the burned coal per sec can be calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the power plant by the energy released per one lb.

i.e.

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec =\dfrac{750}{3.99}

The mass of the coal that is burned per sec = 187.97 lb/s

The mass of sulfur burned  = \dfrac{1.1}{100} \times 187.97 \  lb/s

= 2.067 lb/s

To hour; we have:

= 7444 lb/hr

However, If a scrubber with 75% removal efficiency is utilized,

Then; the net emissions rate of sulfur is (1 - 0.75) × 7444 lb/hr

= 0.25 × 7444 lb/hr

= 1861 lb/hr

Hence, the net emissions rate of sulfur is 1861 lb/hr
