A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci

rcuit that keeps it oscillating with a constant amplitude. When the circuit is turned off, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 50% in 37 minutes.
a. What is the pendulum's time constant?



b. How much additional time elapses before the amplitude decreases to 25% of its initial value?

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!

<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

Steam undergoes an adiabatic expansion in a piston–cylinder assembly from 100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C. What is work in kJ per
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

piston cylinder assembly

100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C

to find out

work  and amount of entropy  and magnitude

solution

first we calculate work i.e heat transfer - work =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C    .................1

so first we get some value from steam table with the help of 100 bar @360°C and  1 bar @ 160°C

specific volume = 0.0233 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2961 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2728 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 6.004 kJ/kg-k

and respectively

specific volume = 1.9838 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2795.8 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2597.5 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 7.659 kJ/kg-k

now from equation 1 we know heat transfer q = 0

so - w =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C

work = 2728 - 2597.5

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

and entropy change formula is i.e.

entropy change =  specific entropy ( 100 bar @360°C)  - specific entropy ( 1 bar @160°C )

put these value we get

entropy change =  7.659 - 6.004

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

and we know maximum  theoretical work = isentropic work

from steam table we know specific internal energy is 2038.3 kJ/kg

maximum  theoretical work = specific internal energy - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work = 2728 - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

You traveled 150.meters south at a speed of 1.50m/s, and then traveled 600. Meters north at a rate of 2.00 m/s.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1.) 400s

2.) 1.875 m/s

3.) 1.125 m/s

Explanation:

Given that you traveled 150.meters south at a speed of 1.50m/s,

Time = distance/ speed

Substitute speed and distance into the formula

Time = 150/1.5

Time = 100 s

and then traveled 600. Meters north at a rate of 2.00 m/s.

Time = 600 / 2

Time = 300 s

1.) Total time = 100 + 300

Total time = 400 s

2.) The average speed will be total distance travelled over total time.

Total distance travelled = 150 + 600

Total distance travelled = 750 m

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Average speed = 750/400

Average speed = 1.875 m/s

3.) Average velocity will be displacement over total time

Displacement = 600 - 150

Displacement = 450 m

Average velocity = 450/400

Average velocity = 1.125 m/s
