Position ' C ' is the middle of the swing. That's where the weight is the lowest.

It's also the place where the weight is moving the fastest, so that means it's the place where the kinetic energy is greatest.

Answer:

At point C

Explanation:

The velocity of the pendulum is maximum at its mean position, i.e., at C.

Formula for Kinetic energy is given by

$K = 1\div 2\times m\times v^{2}$

As velocity is maximum at C so kinetic energy is also maximum at C.

What is a hydraulic system

Simora [160]

Explanation:

Hydraulic systems use the pump to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid passes through the valves and flows to the cylinder where the hydraulic energy converts back into mechanical energy. The valves help to direct the flow of the liquid and relieve pressure when needed

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s

(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

$v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]$

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]$

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16$

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}$

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4$

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

$v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40$

$v_f=8+16=24$

The final velocity is 24 m/s

A man pushes a 10kg box with a constant acceleration of 5m/s2. What force is applied to the box?

drek231 [11]

FORMULA

$\boxed {F = m \times a}$

F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration

Using the formula

$F = 10 \times 5$

Multiply

$\boxed {\textsf {F = 10 N}}$
