Your answer should be precise to 0.1 m/s. Use a gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s/s. At it lowest point, a pendulum is moving

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed, v₁ = 7.7 m/s

We need to find the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point. Let it is given by v₂. Using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2+mgh$

$v_2^2=v_1^2-2gh$

$v_2^2=(7.7)^2-2\times 10\times 1$

$v_2=6.26\ m/s$

So, the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Identify the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill

Dvinal [7]

<span>Examples of outside forces acting on a car is gravity, wind, and other cars. Cars do not slide down hills because their weight, combined with the friction of their tires against the road, hold them in place. </span>
