A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end

IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

Two polarizers A and B are aligned so that their transmission axes are vertical and horizontal, respectively. A third polarizer

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the angle between the first polariser and the second polariser axis is θ.

By using of law of Malus

(a)

Let the intensity of light coming out from the first polariser is I'

$I' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta$ .... (1)

Now the angle between the transmission axis of the second and the third polariser is 90 - θ. Let the intensity of light coming out from the third polariser is I''.

By the law of Malus

$I'' = I'Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

So,

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Cos^{2}\left ( 90-\theta \right )$

$I'' = I_{0}Cos^{2}\theta Sin^{2}\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}Sin^{2}2\theta$

(b)

Now differentiate with respect to θ.

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{4}\times 2 \times 2 \times Sin2\theta \times Cos 2\theta$

$I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}\times Sin 4\theta$

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12
