Suppose a pendulum clock has been calibrated to be accurate in San Francisco, where g = 9.800 m/s2 . In Camrose, g = 9.811 m/s2

is slightly larger due to the effect of Earth’s rotation at a higher latitude. Explain why the clock will either run perfectly, run too quickly, or run too slowly in Camrose.

The clock would run too slowly in Camrose.

Since the period of the pendulum T = 2π√(L/g) where L = length of clock and g = acceleration due to gravity.

Now since g = 9.800 m/s² in San Francisco and g = 9.811 m/s² in Camrose, we see that g increases.

From the expression for the period T, since L is constant, we find that

T ∝ 1/√g

Since g increases, so, T would decrease.

Thus, the clock would run too slowly in Camrose.

A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12.0 cm from equilibrium, and the potential energy stored is 72.0 J. What compression (as mea

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression $x=12 cm$

Potential energy Stored in spring $=72 J$

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by $=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72$

$k(0.12)^2=144$

$k=10,000 N/m$

$k=10 kN/m$

for 100 J energy

$\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100$

$10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200$

$(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}$

$x_0=0.1414$

$x_0=14.14 cm$

Problem 1: Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructi

Anton [14]

1) Destructive interference

The condition for constructive interference to occur is:

$\delta = m\lambda$ (1)

where

$\delta =|d_1 -d_2|$ is the path difference, with

$d_1$ is the distance of the point from the first source

$d_2$ is the distance of the point from the second source

m is an integer number

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we have

$d_1 = 78.0 m\\d_2 = 143 m\\\lambda=26.0 m$

So let's use eq.(1) to see if the resulting m is an integer

$\delta =|78.0 m-143 m|=65 m\\m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{65 m}{26.0 m}=2.5$

It is not an integer so constructive interference does not occur.

Let's now analyze the condition for destructive interference:

$\delta = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$ (2)

If we apply the same procedure to eq.(2), we find

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=2$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

2) Constructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 91.0 m\\d_2 =221.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|91.0 m-221.0 m|=130.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{130.0 m}{26.0 m}=5$

Which is an integer, so this is a point of constructive interference.

3) Destructive interference

In this case we have

$d_1 = 44.0 m\\d_2 =135.0 m$

So the path difference is

$\delta =|44.0 m-135.0 m|=91.0 m$

Using the condition for constructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}=3.5$

This is not an integer, so this is not a point of constructive interference.

So let's use now the condition for destructive interference:

$m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=3$

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

Today we can make observations that would lead us to the same conclusion as newton. If you throw a baseball in the air, it always comes back down. This is because of gravity. duh.
