Answer:

By pushing the pendulum Bob up so it moves faster

Explanation:

In pendulum physics the length of the pendulum Bob determines the speed of the clock. So since the grandfather's clock is slow it means the Bob is has moved down so to move it up you have to achieve this by adjusting the but upwards thereby making the clock move faster.

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh
jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N

Distance, r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m

(a) F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}, q is the charge on the ion              

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}      

q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

An amateur astronomer looks at the moon through a telescope with a 15-cm-diameter objective. What is the minimum separation betw
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

  y = 128.0 km

Explanation:

The minimum separation of two objects is determined by Rayleygh's diffraction criterion, which establishes that two bodies are solved if the first minino of diffraction of one coincides with the central maximum of the second, with this criterion the diffraction equation remains

                       

the diffraction equation for the first minimum is

                       a sin θ = λ

In the case of circular openings, the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, leaving the expression, we use the approximation that the sine of tea is very small.

                    θ =  1.22 λ / d

                   d = 15 cm

to find the distance we can use trigonometry

             tan θ = y / L

             tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = θ

substituting

              y / L = λ / d

              y = L λ /d

let's calculate

              y = 384 10⁸ 500 10⁻⁹ / 0.15

              y = 1.28 10⁵ m

Let's reduce to km

             y = 1.28 10⁵ m (1km / 10³ m)

             y = 128.0 km

the correct answer is 120 km away
