Pendulum clocks are made to run at the correct rate by adjusting the pendulum’s length. Suppose you move from one city to anothe

r where the acceleration due to gravity is slightly greater, taking your pendulum clock with you, will you have to lengthen or shorten the pendulum to keep the correct time, other factors remaining constant? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Obviously Lengthen...   T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}   or   g = 4\pi ^{2} L/g

Explanation:

As we can observe from the equation, time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the length directly. When the gravitational acceleration increases the time period of the pendulum decreases and vice versa. So, by increasing the length, the time period can be adjusted...

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a potassium surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 2.93 eV are emitted.
olchik [2.2K]

A) We want to find the work function of the potassium. Apply this equation:

E = 1243/λ - Φ

E = energy of photoelectron, λ = incoming light wavelength, Φ = potassium work function

Given values:

E = 2.93eV, λ = 240nm

Plug in and solve for Φ:

2.93 = 1243/240 - Φ

Φ = 2.25eV

B) We want to find the threshold wavelength, i.e. find the wavelength such that the energy E of the photoelectrons is 0eV. Plug in E = 0eV and Φ = 2.25eV and solve for the threshold wavelength λ:

E = 1243/λ - Φ

0 = 1243/λ - Φ

0 = 1243/λ - 2.25

λ = 552nm

C) We want to find the frequency associated with the threshold wavelength. Apply this equation:

c = fλ

c = speed of light in a vacuum, f = frequency, λ = wavelength

Given values:

c = 3×10⁸m/s, λ = 5.52×10⁻⁷m

Plug in and solve for f:

3×10⁸ = f(5.52×10⁻⁷)

f = 5.43×10¹⁴Hz

In a hydroelectric dam, water falls 30.0m and then spins a turbine to generate electricity.
ozzi

Answer:

(a) 294 J

(b) 229591.84 kg

Explanation:

height, h = 30 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

(a) U = m x g x h

U = 1 x 9.8 x 30

U = 294 J

(b) Let the mass of water is m

U = m x g xh

80% of this energy per second is generating power

0.8 x m x 9.8 x 30 = 54 x 10^6

m = 229591.84 kg

Thus, the mass of water required is 229591.84 kg.
