The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun

Kipish [7]

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

$l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m$

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

$T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}$

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

$g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

What is the total energy of a particle with a rest mass of 1 gram moving with half the speed of light? 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J. An

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

6.5 x 10^32 eV

Explanation:

mass of particle, mo = 1 g = 0.001 kg

velocity of particle, v = half of velocity of light = c / 2

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Energy associated to the particle

E = γ mo c^2

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^{2}}{4c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{2m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$E=\frac{2\times0.001\times9\times10^{16}}{1.732}$

$E=1.04\times10^{14}J$

Convert Joule into eV

1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J

So, $E=\frac{1.04\times10^{14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}=6.5\times10^{32}eV$

While playing a video game on your laptop, the laptop gets very hot. Which Thermodynamics Law does this exemplify?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer

The dedicated graphics card is used when performing hardware-intensive tasks so as to ensure efficiency and balanced performance. However, it uses more power and thus produces more heat. When the cooling system is not sufficient or the room is not well ventilated, your PC begins to overheat while playing games. Explanation: How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to the direction of heat flow? Heat of itself never flows from a cold object to a hot object. ... The second law expresses the maximum efficiency of a heat engine in terms of hot and cold temperatures. one of these answers i am not sure
