Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
Answer:
1). Average speed = 1.5 m per second
2). Average velocity = 1.5 m per second
Explanation:
1). Since, speed is a scalar quantity
Therefore, average speed of the trip =
From the graph attached,
Total distance covered = 10 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 20 + 30
= 90 meters
Total time taken = 60 seconds
Average speed =
= 1.5 meter per second
2). Velocity is a vector quantity.
Therefore, average velocity =
=
=
= 1.5 meter per second
