A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building.

The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the rotation of the Earth—for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault pendulum.Part A) If the pendulum were to be taken to the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is g/6, would the period increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Part B) Check your result in part A by calculating the period of the pendulum on the Moon.

Answer:

9.59143 s

23.4941 s

Explanation:

L = Length of pendulum = 75 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Time period is given by

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

On Earth

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow T=9.59143\ s

The time period on Earth is 9.59143 s

On Moon

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{75\times 0.3048}{\dfrac{9.81}{6}}}\\\Rightarrow T=23.4941\ s

The time period on Moon is 23.4941 s

Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

  1. Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
  2. Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
  3. Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
  4. Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
  5. Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.

Which quantity can be calculated using Newton’s second law of motion?
DiKsa [7]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

          Net Force  =  (mass) x (acceleration) .

The law shows the relationship among an object's mass
and acceleration, and the net force acting on it.

If you know any two of the quantities in the formula,
the law can be used to calculate the third one.
