The pendelum in an antique clock can be approximated by a thin rod with a coefficient of thermal expansion of 2.00x10^-5 (C°)^-1. At 20.0° C, the period of the pendulum is 1.00 s. If the temperature increases to 30.0° C, how many seconds per day will the clock gain or lose?
Large meteors sometimes strike the Earth, converting most of their kinetic energy into thermal
energy. If a 10° kg meteor moving at 25.0 km/s lands in a deep ocean and 80% of its kinetic
energy goes into heating water, how many kilograms of water could it raise by 5.0°C?
Select the correct answer
