A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

ments made at 20.0∘C). Due to a design oversight, the swinging sphere clears the floor by a distance of only 3.00 mm when the temperature is 20.0∘C? at what temperature will the sphere begin to brush the floor?

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

\alpha_s = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

L_{0b} = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

L_{0s} = Initial length of steel = 11 m

\Delta L = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C

\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

A hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than
Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to speed 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s .Find the distance the car travel during this time .​
kirill [66]

Answer:

<em>The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It occurs when an object changes its velocity at the same rate thus the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting the given data vo=0, vf=6.6 m/s, t=6.5 s:

\displaystyle a=\frac{6.6-0}{6.5}

a = 1.015\ m/s^2

The distance is now calculated with [2]:

\displaystyle x=0*6.5+\frac{1.015*6.5^2}{2}

x = 21.45 m

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

How would doubling the mass of Earth affect the gravity we experience?​
N76 [4]
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
