Answer:
Energy is transformed from potential to kinetic and vice versa
Explanation:
The energy is transformed from mechanical to kinetic energy when the object changes its position with respect to a reference point, where it loses height but increases its speed. When the object is at maximum height with respect to a reference point, it will have its maximum potential energy value. When the object passes through the reference point it will have potential energy equal to zero, but this energy will become kinetic energy.
The most characteristic and real example is that of a pendulum at one end, as can be seen in the attached image.
When the pendulum is located at the top end, as shown in Figure 1, at that point the maximum potential energy will be held. Then the pendulum is released and when it passes through the reference point and its height is zero, with respect to that point, all potential energy will have become kinetic energy in the same way at this point the maximum speed of the pendulum will be set.

Answer:
Explanation:
Total length of the wire is 29 m.
Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.
Let d is used to make a square.
And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.
(a)
Area of square = d²
Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4
Total area,
Differentiate both sides with respect to d.
For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0
d = 8.76 m
Differentiate again we get the
(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m
(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m
