There is fluctuation in time measured by a pendulum clock why give reasons

A major source of error in pendulum clocks is thermal expansion; the pendulum rod changes in length slightly with changes in temperature, causing changes in the rate of the clock. An increase in temperature causes the rod to expand, making the pendulum longer, so its period increases and the clock loses time.

You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

52.49 Kg

Explanation:

Let m1 and v1 denote your mass and velocity respectively

Let m2 and v2 denote your friends mass and velocity respectively

Kinetic energy is given by

$KE= 0.5mv^{2}$

Since your kinetic energies are the same hence

$0.5m1(v1)^{2}=0.5m2(v2)^{2}$

$m1(v1)^{2}=m2(v2)^{2}$ and making m2 the subject then

$m2=\frac { m1(v1)^{2}}{(v2)^{2}}$

Since v2 is v1+0.28v1=1.28v1

Substituting m1 for 86 Kg

$m2=\frac { 86 Kg(v1)^{2}}{(1.28v1)^{2}}= 52.49023\approx 52.49 Kg$

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

= 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

= 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

V = d / t

= 2500 / 540

= 4.63 m/s

At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

V = (4.63 + 18)/2

= 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s

A 4.0-kg object has 72 J of kinetic energy.<br> Determine its speed.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

v = sqrt of 2KE/m

Where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass of a body

v = velocity of a body

= sqrt of 2(72)/4

= sqrt of 144/4

= sqrt of 36

= 6m/s
