A free fall as when something drops just under the force of gravity meaning there was no outside force. such as if you let go of a ball and it fell to the ground the ball went through a free fall but if you bounced the ball it would not be considered a free fall

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal
suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

m_c = The center of mass of the stick = \frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m

\omega = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)

As the energy in the system is conserved

mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s

If a 12 kg cat is sitting 5 m up in a tree, how much PE does it have?
Helen [10]

Answer:

588 J

Explanation:

PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

mass = 12 kg

gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height = 5 m

PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)

A pendulum at position A is released and swings through position B to position Con the other side.
zaharov [31]

Explanation:

Given the conditions A,B and C when the pendulum is released, at point A the initial velocity of the pendulum is zero(0), the potential energy stored is maximum(P.E= max),

the conditions can be summarized bellow

point A

initial velocity= 0

final velocity=0

P.E= Max

K.E= 0

point B

initial velocity= maximum

final velocity=maximum

P.E=K.E

point C

initial velocity= min

final velocity=min

P.E= 0

K.E= max
