Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Mechanical energy (ME) is Kinetic energy + potential energy
Where
Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * m * v^2
where m is the mass (in kg) and v is the speed of the object (in m/s)
and
Potential Energy (PE) = m*g*h
Where m is the mass (in kg) and g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s) and h is the height (in meters)
Hence
ME = KE + PE (note the pendulum DOES NOT have any speed, so v = 0, and thus KE = 0)
So,
Hence, Mechanical Energy is 9.8 Joules (rounded to 1 decimal place). Correct answer is A.
83 FT Because if you divide 786 by 12 (Which is how many inches are in a foot) you will get 65.5 ft.
The most you can sell for each one is 9$ because its the greatest common factor
Comment
There are 4 terms in this series
That's because the summation (Sigma) goes from 3 to 6 inclusive. So k takes on values of 3,4,5,6
You could use this summation formula
Formula
Sum = (a + L)n/2
Substitution
a is the first term.
k = 3 for the first term
a = -5k + 20
a = -5(3) + 20
a = -15 + 20
a = 5
For the last term k = 6
L = -5(6) + 20
L = -30 + 20
L = - 10
Sum
Sum = (5 - 10)*4/2
Sum = -5 * 2
Sum = -10
Comment
You may wonder how come the last term and the sum are the same. The reason to be found by figuring out the 4 terms and adding them together.
When k = 3, -5k + 20 = -15 + 20 = 5
When k = 4, -5k + 20 = -20 + 20 = 0
When k = 5, -5k + 20 = -25 + 20 = -5
When k = 6, -5k + 20 = -30 + 20 = -10
Sum = 5 + 0 - 5 - 10 = - 10
Conclusion.
It is an accident of the numbers.
Answer: - 10 = the Sum
