Does altitude affect pendulum?
Answer and Explanation: At a higher altitude, the value of gravity decreases. As it is inversely proportional, the period of the pendulum will increase.
What will happen to time period of pendulum on taking to mountain?
On taking the pendulum to the top of a mountain, g will decrease, therefore, T will increase. The pendulum will take more time to complete one vibration, i.e., it will lose time.
When a pendulum clock at sea level is taken to the top of a high mountain it will group of answer choices?
Since, time period is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration due to gravity, decrease in the gravity increases the time period. So, the pendulum takes more time to complete one oscillation on the mountain when compared to that of the sea level. Thus, the pendulum becomes slightly slower.
What is the effect of the pendulum clock when it is taken to the mines?
looses time, length to be decreased.
At what point in the pendulum is the potential energy maximum?
So potential energy would be highest when the pendulum is at its highest point on either side of its motion where it is stationary for an instant. This is the point where all kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy ( Ek=0 since v=0 ).
How can a pendulum measure altitude?
In can be used per the following Method of Procedure (MOP) to measure altitude:
- Immobilize the internal pendulum components, and close and secure the air-tight enclosure.
- Take the instrument, and a stopwatch, to a location AT the altitude to be measured, from which a clear line of sight to the.
Will a pendulum clock gain or lose?
As T∝1√g , so the time period of pendulum clock increses. It means pendulum clock will take more time to complete one oscillation, i.e., it will be loosing time.
Will a pendulum clock gain?
If a pendulum clock is taken to a mountain top, does it gain or lose time? When the pendulum is taken to the top of mountain, the value of ‘g’ will decrease and hence time period will increase. As the pendulum takes more time to complete one vibration, it will lose time.
When a pendulum clock is taken from sea level?
Solution for problem 7Q Chapter 11 Why? The equation for pendulum motion is: As we gain altitude the value of constant of gravity ‘g’ decreases. If a pendulum clock which is accurate at sea level is taken to high altitude it will slow down.
Why do pendulums not work at sea?
So, to be used as a clock, pendulums must be insulated from other sources of acceleration such as inertial forces. But on ocean-bound ships this condition is not guaranteed because the ship gets rocked constantly by the waves. That is what is meant by “pendulum clocks don’t work at sea”.
How would the time period of a seconds pendulum change if it is shifted to a deep mine?
When a person goes from the surface of the earth to deep in the mine, the acceleration due to gravity decreases. Therefore, time period of oscillation of the simple pendulum increases deep in the mine.
How is the time period of the pendulum effected when pendulum is taken to hills or in mines?
Time period of simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. 28. The time period increases as the value of g is less on hills or in mines than that at surface.
