If you are building a clock by using a pendulum's oscillations to keep time and you find the period is a little too small (the c

lock counts seconds too quickly), what should you do to adjust the pendulum's period? O
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.

The de Broglie wavelength of an electron traveling at 7.0 x 107m/s is 1.0 x 10-11m. (Remember that me = 9.1 x 10-31kg and h = 6.
ivolga24 [154]

The De Broglie's wavelength of a particle is given by:

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}

where

h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the particle


In this problem, the momentum of the electron is equal to the product between its mass and its speed:

p=m_e v=(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(7.0 \cdot 10^7 m/s)=6.4 \cdot 10^{-23} kg m/s

and if we substitute this into the previous equation, we find the De Broglie wavelength of the electron:

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{6.4 \cdot 10^{-23} kg m/s}=1.0 \cdot 10^{-11} m


So, the answer is True.

Does a physicist studies cells and life cycles?
zepelin [54]
Hey there!

No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.

Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.

Hope this helps!

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
