Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2

Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur
loris [4]

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure  of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

5 C = 278 K

25 C = 298 K

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

1.5L / 278 K = V2 / 298 K

V2 = (1.5L * 298) / 278

V2 = 1.61 L

If Faraday had used a more powerful battery in his experiments with electromagnetic induction, what effect would this have had o
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The value of current generated would increase.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

gexp = 3.65 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with the altitude. The following formula gives the value of acceleration due to gravity at some altitude from the sea level:

gexp = g(1 - 2h/Re)

where,

gexp = expected value of g at altitude = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²

h = altitude = 2000 km = 2 x 10⁶ m

Re = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

gexp = (9.8 m/s²)(1 - 2*2 x 10⁶ m/6.37 x 10⁶ m)

<u>gexp = 3.65 m/s²</u>
