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:
The heaviside function is defined as:
so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" when, and remains switched on when
If we want our heaviside function to switch on when , we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when
Thus we define a function f:
The term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.
Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. ( when
, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)
Therefore our final result is:
I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
