a. Increase the length of the string
b. Increase the mass on the end of the string
c. Increase the amplitude of the swing
d. Decrease the length of the string
e. Decrease the mass on the end of the string

Time period of pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Here,

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Therefore we can determine that the period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the rope.

T \propto \sqrt{L}

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the length of the rope to increase the period so that it counts the seconds more slowly. The correct answer is A.

A cellphone charger has a transformer with 2000 turns in the primary coil which converts 240v a.c to 6v a.c and a rectifier that
inn [45]

Answer:

As we are converting 220V AC into a 5V DC, first we need a step-down transformer to reduce such high voltage. Here we have used 9-0-9 1A step-down transformer, which convert 220V AC to 9V AC. In transformer there are primary and secondary coils which step up or step down the voltage according to the no of turn in the coils.

Selection of proper transformer is very important. Current rating depends upon the Current requirement of Load circuit (circuit which will use the generate DC). The voltage rating should be more than the required voltage. Means if we need 5V DC, transformer should at least have a rating of 7V, because voltage regulator IC 7805 at least need 2V more i.e. 7V to provide a 5V voltage.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with
Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

           

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

        \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

           \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f }  - \frac{1}{p}

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

          q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

           h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

           h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

 

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12  cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

A pendulum is constructed from a 6 kg mass attached to a strong cord of length 1.7 m also attached to a ceiling. Originally hang
valina [46]

Answer:

work done is -2.8  × 10⁻⁶ J

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of the pendulum m = 6 kg

Length of core = 1.7 m

Now, case1, mass is pulled aside a small distance of 7.6 cm and released from rest. so let θ₁ be the angle made by mass with vertical axis.

so, θ₁ = ( 7.6 × 10⁻² m / 1.7 m ) = 0.045 rad

In case2, mass is pulled aside a small distance of 8 cm and released from rest. so let θ₁ be the angle made by mass with vertical axis.

so, θ₂ = ( 8 × 10⁻² m / 1.7 m ) = 0.047 rad.

Now, the required work done will be;

W = \int\limits^{\theta_2} _{\theta_1} {r} \, d\theta

W = \int\limits^{\theta_2} _{\theta_1} {-mgl sin\theta } \, d\theta

W = -mgl  \int\limits^{0.047 } _{0.045 } {sin\theta } \, d\theta

W = -mgl[ -cosθ ]^{0.047}_{0.045 }

W = 6 × 9.8 × 1.7 × [ cos( 0.047 ) - cos( 0.045 ) ]

W = 6 × 9.8 × 1.7 × [ -2.8 × 10⁻⁸ ]

W = -2.8  × 10⁻⁶ J

Therefore, work done is -2.8  × 10⁻⁶ J
