Answer:
The bottom/center of the pendulum
Explanation:
As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.
As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
This is when the kinetic energy is the highest
As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats
Answer:
V = 3.54 m/s
Explanation:
Using the conservation of energy:
so:
where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.
So, the mass of kelly is:
m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg
and h is:
h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m
then, replacing values, we get:
Solving for v:
V = 3.54 m/s
Answer:
a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]
Explanation:
With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base
L = length = 10[m]
W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]
A = W * L = 0.18*10
A = 1.8[m^2]
a)
Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:
P = density * g *h
where:
density = 1000[kg/m^3]
g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]
h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]
P = 1000*9.81*0.04
P = 392.4[Pa]
The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:
P = F/A
F = P*A
F = 392.4*1.8
F = 706.32[N]
Answer: to provide evidence to a theory
Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.
Answer:
B. 
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:
With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because 
, 
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for
