(1) The pendulum will have maximum velocity at the lowest point and it will be the most difficult point to stop.

(2) Velocity at maximum height is zero and it will be the easiest point to stop the pendulum.

(3) The total mechanical energy of the pendulum would  be the same at all point.

<h3>Point of maximum velocity of the pendulum</h3>

A pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point. The kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

The pendulum will have maximum velocity due to maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point and it will be the most difficult point to stop.

<h3>Point of maximum height of the pendulum</h3>

A pendulum has maximum potential energy at the highest point. The potential energy is given as;

P.E = mgh

Velocity at maximum height is zero and it will be the easiest point to stop the pendulum.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy will be conserved. Thus, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum would  be the same at all point.

B. Inelastic collision.

In elastic collision , both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved while in inelastic collision only momentum is conserved. there is some loss of energy in inelastic collision during collision.

During the collision of bat with baseball, some energy gets lost to heat and sound. hence the kinetic energy is not conserved although the momentum is conserved.

A muscle inserts 1.5 cm from the joint axis and exerts 300 N of force at an angle of pull of 60 degrees. How much torque is prod
Amanda [17]

Answer:

torque = 3.897 N-m

Explanation:

given data

force = 300 N

angle = 60 degree

distance = 15 cm

to find out

torque

solution

we will apply here torque formula that is given below

torque = force × sinθ × distance    ...................1

put here all these value in equation 1

we get torque

torque  = force × sinθ × distance

torque  = 300 × sin60 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 300 × 0.8660 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 259.80 × 1.5 ×10^{-2}

torque  = 389.711 ×10^{-2}

torque = 3.897 N-m

A lens forms an image of an object. The object is 16.0cm from the lens. The image is 12.0cm from the lens on the same side as th
Eddi Din [679]

A) -48.0 cm

In order to find the focal length of the lens, we can use the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have:

p = 16.0 cm

q = -12.0 cm (the negative sign is due to the fact that the image is on the same side as the object, so it is a virtual image, so the sign of q is negative)

Substituting, we find f:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{-12}=-0.020833 cm^{-1} \rightarrow f=-48 cm

B) Diverging

We have two types of lenses:

- A converging (convex) lens is curved outwards in its center, so that the incoming rays of light parallel to the principal axis are focused into the focus of the lens, on the opposite side

- A diverging (concave) lens is curved inwards in its center, so that the incoming rays of light parallel to the principar axis are deviated away from the principal axis, and they appear to come all from the focal point of the length on the same side of the object

A converging lens is identified by a positive focal length, while the focal length in a diverging lens is negative. Here, f = -48.0 cm, so this is a diverging lens.

C) 6.38 mm

We can answer this part of the problem by using the magnification equation:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Here we have:

y = 8.50 mm

p = 16.0 cm

q = -12.0 cm

So we find:

y' = - \frac{q}{p}y=-\frac{(-12)}{16}(8.50)=6.38 mm

D) Erect

We can determine the orientation of the image by looking at the sign of the size of the image found in part C). In fact:

- if the image is erect, the sign of y' is positive

- if the image is inverted, the sign of y' is negative

In this situation, we see that

y' = 6.38 mm

Which is positive, so the image is erect.
