A simple pendulum with a period of 2 seconds can be used as a chronograph to measure time with great accuracy. A platinum wire attached to the bob completes the electric timing circuit through a drop of mercury as it swings though the lowest point. a. What should be the length, L, of the pendulum

0.994 m

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, the period of oscillation is given by

wher L is its length and g s the acceleration due to gravity.

Rearranging the formula,

T = 2

Take g = 9.81

i would say the answer is food.

hope this !

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
