From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Gravitational Potential Energy as follows:

\large {\boxed {E_p = mgh }

<em>Ep = Gravitational Potential Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m )</em>

<em>h = Height ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of wrecking ball = m = 1400 kg

length of the cable = L = 20 m

angle with the vertical = θ = 30.0°

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Ep = m g h

Ep = m g (L - L\cos \theta)

Ep = 1400 ( 9.8 ) ( 20 - 20 \cos 30^o )

Ep = 13720 ( 20 - 10\sqrt{3} )

Ep \approx 37000 \texttt{ J}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Kindly check the attached image below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
