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.

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

$M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, $f_e$ is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and $f_o$ is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put $f_o=74 cm$ and $f_e=2.4 cm$ in the above expression.

$M=-\frac{74}{2.4}$

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Sarah, whose mass is 40 kg, is on her way to school after a winter storm when she accidentally slips on a patch of ice whose coe

RideAnS [48]

Sarah's acceleration is $-0.49 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is Sarah's mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:

$F=-\mu mg = ma$

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find

$a=-\mu g$

And substituting the following values:

$\mu = 0.05$ (coefficient of friction)

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

we find:

$a=-(0.05)(9.81)=-0.49 m/s^2$

A summary of a source is usually

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A shorter than the original source and in the researcher's words

Explanation:

The summary is an abridged version of the original source and in the researcher's own very words.

Summaries gives an over-arching perspective and excludes implicit details from a given text.

A summary should not be detailed and must avoid overt illustrations. They must capture the true essence of piece leaving out flowery details.

A summary should be lesser in length than the original piece. Any third party reader should immediately be able to grab the details of the original piece from the summary.

A 75-kg piano is hoisted on a crane and delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment (20 meters above ground). What

ipn [44]

Answer:

P = 14700 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piano, m = 75 kg

It is delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment which is 20 m above the ground.

We need to find the potential energy of the piano. It is given by :

P = mgh

Putting all the values,

P = 75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

P = 14700 J

So, the potential energy of the piano is 14700 J.
