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

1 answer:

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.

An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A) 17.7 m/s

B) 15.98 m

C) Zero

E) 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

given information

distance, h = - 34 m

time, t = 5 s

A) What is the initial speed of the egg?

h - h₀ = v₀t - $\frac{1}{2} g$ t², h₀ = 0

- 34 = v₀ 5 - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 5²

- 34 = 5 v₀ - 122.5

v₀ = 122.5 - 34/5

= 17.7 m/s

B) How high does it rise above its starting point?

v² = v₀² - 2gh

v = 0 (highest point)

2gh = v₀²

h = v₀²/2g

= 17.7²/2 (9.8)

= 15.98 m

C) What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point?

v = 0 (at highest point)

E) What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at the highest point?

g= 9.8 m/s², since the egg is moved vertically, the acceleration is the same as the gravitational acceleration.

What is the primary function of earth's atmosphere (1 point)?

lana66690 [7]

<span>Without the atmosphere that protects the Earth, humans, animals and all plant life would not be able to survive. The atmosphere works to hold oxygen in the area around the earth. Humans and most animals are dependent on oxygen. Plants are also dependent on oxygen because they take the leftover carbon dioxide from humans when they inhale the oxygen.</span>

Could someone please explain what makes up the electromagnetic spectrum? Thank you.

faust18 [17]

These types include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves and radio waves. Together with visible light, all these types of radiation make up what we call the electromagnetic spectrum - the complete spectrum of radiation.
