Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time.(ii) Suppose a grandfather clock is calibrated corr
ANEK [815]

The grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

<h3>What is Time Period of an oscillation?</h3>
  • The time period of an oscillation refers to the time taken by an object to complete one oscillation.
  • It is the inverse of frequency of oscillation; denoted by "T".

Now,

  • \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}, where L is the length and g is the gravitational constant, is the formula for a pendulum's period.
  • The period will increase as one climbs a very tall mountain because g will slightly decrease.
  • Due to this and the previous issue, the clock runs slowly and it seems that one second is longer than it actually is.

Hence, the grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

You have a string with a mass of 0.0135 kg. You stretch the string with a force of 8.29 N, giving it a length of 1.83 m. Then yo
Sphinxa [80]

The wavelength of the standing wave at fourth harmonic is; λ = 0.985 m and the frequency of the wave at the calculated wavelength is; f = 36.84 Hz

Given Conditions:

mass of string; m = 0.0133 kg

Force on the string; F = 8.89 N

Length of string; L = 1.97 m

1. To find the wavelength at the fourth normal node.

At the fourth harmonic, there will be 2 nodes.

Thus, the wavelength will be;

λ = L/2

λ = 1.97/2

λ = 0.985 m

2. To find the velocity of the wave from the formula;

v = √(F/(m/L)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

v = √(8.89/(0.0133/1.97)

v = 36.2876 m/s

Now, formula for frequency here is;

f = v/λ

f = 36.2876/0.985

f = 36.84 Hz

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s. What is the height (in feet) of the cliff
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Explanation:

A stone hit the cliff with

speed, v = 88 ft/s

Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2

initial speed, u = 0 ft/s

height is h.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled

so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h

substituting the appropriate values,

(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h

h=(88)^2 / 64

h= 121 ft

hence

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

A person on a diet loses 1.6 kg in a week. How many micrograms/second (µg/s) are lost?
Ivan
Based on the given values above, in order for us to get the answer, we need to convert the units first. So in 1 kilogram, there is 1,000,000 micrograms. In this case, 1.6 kilograms is 1,600,000 micrograms. For the week to seconds, 1 week is equivalent to 604,800 seconds. Therefore, 1,600,000 micrograms/604,800 seconds. So we are going to simplify this. So it would be 2.65<span>µg/s. Hope this answers your question.</span>
