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. A child is twirling a 1.52 kg object in a vertical circle with a radius of 67.6
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

(a) 4.21 m/s

(b) 24.9 N

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the bottom of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling up and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (+y) direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = m v² / r

v = √(r (T − mg) / m)

v = √(0.676 m (54.7 N − 1.52 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 1.52 kg)

v = 4.21 m/s

(b) Draw a free body diagram of the object when it is at the top of the circle.  There are two forces on the object: tension force T pulling down and weight force mg pulling down.

Sum the forces in the radial (-y) direction:

∑F = ma

T + mg = m v² / r

T = m v² / r − mg

T = (1.52 kg) (4.21 m/s)² / (0.676 m) −  (1.52 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

T = 24.9 N

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

the train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15 secs. a. find its acceleration. b. distance it travels during this time ...
Sonbull [250]
Acceleration = v-u/t
= (45-30)/15
= 1 km/h


Distance = ut + 1/2 at^2
s = [30 x 15]  + 1/2 x 1 x 15^2 
= 562.5 km

Hope this helps
