Answer:

At the bottom.

Explanation:

A pendulum possess two types of energies i.e. kinetic energy and potential energy. We know that a pendulum oscillates about its mean position. At both extreme points, it have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy. As it swings down, its potential energy gets converted to the kinetic energy.

As a result, it have zero potential energy and maximum kinetic energy at the bottom point. Hence, the pendulum have the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom.

At the lowest point of its motion, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum. This is where the velocity is a maximum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum (i.e. zero) and potential energy is maximum.

Explain how the basic unit are combined to give the derived units of force, velocity, pressure and work

LuckyWell [14K]

Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

$\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

$\frac{m}{s}$

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

$F = ma$

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

Analysing the units:

$\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}$

Therefore, the unit of force is:

$kg\frac{m}{s^2}$

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

$P=\frac{F}{S}$ where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

$[l^2]=m^2$ , the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

$\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}$ , the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

$W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}$ , (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

$[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}$ , the unit of work.

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas

blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

Speed of the object
Cross-sectional area of the object
Shape of the object

Formula:

$F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}$

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
