Help with Physical Science! I have to do this discussion on potential and kinetic energy. The example of the problem is a 4 poun

d weight being lifted from the ground on a string. There are also scissors there to cut the string for the 4 pound to drop. The two questions is to explain how the object (the weight on the string) had potential energy. And how the object had kinetic energy. THANK YOU

Answer:

Tying a 4 weight pound on a string is a potential energy because it is at rest but cutting it and letting it fall experiences a kinetic energy because it will be in motion.

raketka [301]
The wavelength of the note is \lambda = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m. Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound, c=344 m/s, the frequency of the note is
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}=879.8 Hz

Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }
where \mu=0.550 g/m = 0.550 \cdot 10^{-3} kg/m is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:
L= \frac{1}{2f}  \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} } =0.31 m
