In order to measure the free-fall acceleration on a distant planet with no orbiting satellite, a 1.5-meter-long pendulum made of a massless lead string holding a very small 2-kg gold mass is brought to the planet's surface. The planet has a temperature of 470 °C, and once the pendulum is lifted at an angle of 15° from the vertical, it swings left and right with a period of 2.38 seconds. If the original measurement for the pendulum was taken when the temperature was 25 °C, what is the free-fall acceleration on that planet? Round to the nearest hundredth (0.01).

At a certain temperature, a simple pendulum has a period of 1.500 seconds. The support wire is made of silver and has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of 1.90 x 10^-5/C°. How much must the temperature be increased to increase the period to 1.506 seconds?
The accepted value for the speed of sound in dry air is 331.50 m/s at 0 °C. This speed increases by 0.607 m/s for each additional °C. Compute the accepted value for the speed of sound in air at a room temperature of 27 °C, also known as 300 K because T = 273.15 + t ( Here t is in degree Celsius).
Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0 = 1.00 m and a mass M at temperature T = 20.00°C. It can be modeled as a physical pendulum as a rod oscillating around one end. By what percentage will the period change if the temperature increases by 10°C? Assume the length of the rod changes linearly with temperature, where L = L0 (1 + αΔT) and the rod is made of brass (α = 18 × 10−6 °C−1).
The titanium shell of an SR-71 airplane would expand when flying at a speed exceeding 3 times the speed of sound. If the skin of the plane is 400 degrees C and the linear coefficient of expansion for titanium is 5x10 -6 /C when flying at 3 times the speed of sound, how much would a 10-meter long (originally at 0C) rod portion (1-dimension) of the airplane expand?
The intensity of solar radiation reaching the Earth is 1,340 W/m2. If the sun has a radius of 7.000 × 108 m, is a perfect radiator and is located 1.500 × 1011 m from the Earth, then what is the temperature of the sun?
A student measures the length of a brass rod with a steel tape at 20.0°C. The reading is 95.00 cm. What will the tape indicate for the length of the rod when the rod and the tape are at (a) -15.0°C and (b) 55.0°C?
A square thermal window is constructed of two sheets of flat glass, each 4.00 mm thick, separated by 5.00 mm of stationary air. If the inside of the window is at 20.0 oC, the external one at -30.0 oC and the cross-sectional area of the window is 6.00 m2, determine for the steady state: kglass= 0,80 W/(m*K); kair= 0,024 W(m*K) a) If the air layer is removed and the two glass sheets are glued together. what's the new heat current? Is the standing air layer important?b) Discuss what would happen if the air between the two glasses were not stationary.
How many calories are required to change two grams of 0°C ice to 100°C steam? The latent heat of fusion is 80 cal/g and the latent heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g. The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g · K. A 0.10-kg object attached to a spring whose spring constant is 250 N/m executes simple harmonic motion. If its maximum speed is 10.0 m/s, the amplitude of its oscillation is:
The side surfaces of a 3-m-high cubic industrial furnace burning natural gas are not insulated, and the temperature at the outer surface of this section is measured to be 110°C. The temperature of the furnace room, including its surfaces, is 30°C, and the emissivity of the outer surface of the furnace is 0.7. It is proposed that this section of the furnace wall be insulated with glass wool insulation (k = 0.038 W/m·K) wrapped by a reflective sheet (« = 0.2) in order to reduce the heat loss by 90 percent. Assuming the outer surface temperature of the metal section still remains at about 110°C, determine the thickness of the insulation that needs to be used. The furnace operates continuously throughout the year and has an efficiency of 78 percent. The price of the natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ of energy content). If the installation of the insulation will cost $550 for materials and labor, determine how long it will take for the insulation to pay for itself from the…

Hi, I have a question! The length of an aluminum pendulum in a certain clock is 0.2480 m on a day when the temperature is 23.30°C. This length was chosen so that the period of the pendulum is exactly 1.000 s. The clock is then hung on a wall where the temperature is -5.00°C and set to the correct local time. Assuming the acceleration due to gravity is the same at both locations, by how much time is the clock incorrect after one day at this temperature? (A) 69.3 s, (B) 115 s, (C) 87.2 s, (D) 31.0 s, (E) 11.5 s My answer is below, is it correct? (B) 115 s
