Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

What is glucose made of
tigry1 [53]

Glucose is a simple sugar.

Its chemical formula is  C₆ H₁₂ O₆ .

That tells you that every glucose molecule is made of 6 atoms of carbon,
12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen.

A blue car pulls away from a red stop-light just after it has turned green with a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s2. A green car
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

After 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car

Explanation:

Let the time for the green car to catch up with the blue car be T

When the green car catches up to the blue car, the distances covered by each car after time T will be equal. Also, their velocities at that instant will be equal

Distance covered by blue car after time T is given by: s = ut + 0.5 at²

Where u = 0, a = 0.2 m/s², t = T

S = 0.5 × 0.2 × T² = 0.1 T²

Velocity of blue car, v = u+ at

v = 0.2T

Distance covered by green car at T is given as: S = Velocity × time

Where v = 0.2T, t = T - 7.5 (since the blue car started 7.5 seconds earlier)

S = 0.2T (T - 7.5)

S = 0.2 T² - 1.5T

Equating the distance covered by the two cars

0.2T² - 1.5T = 0.1T²

0.1T² - 1.5T = 0

T(0.1T - 1.5) = 0

T = 0 or

T = 1.5/0.1 = 15 secs

Therefore, after 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car
