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

Physics

natulia [17]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A 10 N force is applied to a 2 kg mass, how fast will it be going in 10 seconds
prisoha [69]
Since
Force (weight) = mass x acceleration (gravity)

To determine acceleration, the formula will be:
Acceleration = Force / mass

Given are:
F = 10 N
M = 2kg
A = ?

Solution:

1. A = F/M
2. A = 10 kg*m/s2 / 2kg
3. A = 5 m/s2

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

The first law of thermodynamics is an adaptation of the law of conservation of energy, this is thoroughly adapted for the systems(thermodynamics). Law of conservation of energy defines that the total energy of a confined system is stable; energy can be transferred or converted from one form to another, but it cannot be formed or destroyed.

<h2>Answers:</h2><h2 /><h2>a) Arrow B</h2><h2>b) Arrow E</h2>

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes its direction <u>when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.</u>  Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material.  

According to this, if we observe the rays  A an D passing throgh the biconcave lens, we will have two mediums:

1) The air

2)The material of the biconcave lens

This two mediums have different refractive indexes, hence the rays will change the direction.

-For the incident ray A, the corresponding refractive ray is B, because is the ray that bends after passing throgh the lens

-For the incident ray D, the refracted ray is E following the same principle.
