What changes does the process of oscillation of a mathematical pendulum undergo with a change in body weight, if friction is present? Explain their reason.

Which of the following changes to a pipe would increase the conductance by a factor of 12? 1.quadrupling the length and tripling the radius.2.reducing the length by a factor of and doubling the radius.3.tripling the length and reducing the radius by a factor of .4.reducing the length but a factor of and doubling the radius.

Awind turbine is initially spinning at a constant angular speed. as the wind's strength gradually increases, the turbine experiences a constant angular acceleration 0.173 rad/s2. after making 2870 revolutions, its angular speed is 132 rad/s. (a) what is the initial angular velocity of the turbine? (b) how much time elapses while the turbine is speeding up?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
