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.

You stand on top a building 44 m tall with a water balloon. You drop the water balloon from rest. How fast is the balloon moving
Alecsey [184]
<h2>The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s  

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

Displacement, s = 0.5 x 44 = 22 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 22

v² = 431.64

v = 20.78 m/s

Velocity at 22 m = 20.78 m/s

The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w
tatyana61 [14]
(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s
And so the new kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J

One mole of a gas is placed in a closed system with a 20 L vessel initially at T = 300 K. The vessel is then isothermally expand
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Given that

P = RT/V + a/V²

We know that

H= U + PV

For T= Constant  (ΔU=0)

ΔH= ΔU +Δ( PV)

ΔH= Δ( PV)

P = RT/V + a/V²

P V= RT + a/V

dH/dV = d(RT + a/V)/dV

dH/dV = - a/V²

So the expression of dH/dV

\dfrac{dH}{dV}=\dfrac{-a}{V^2}

b)

In isothermal process

\Delta H=nRT\ln{\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}}      (ΔU=0)

Now by putting the all values

\Delta H=nRT\ln{\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}}

\Delta H=1\times 0.08206\times 300\ln{\dfrac{40}{20}}

ΔH = 17.06 L.atm

It’s the 18th century and you are responsible for artillery. Victory hangs in the balance and it all depends on you making a goo
sweet [91]

Answer:

a) You should position the cannon at 981 m from the wall.

b) You could position the cannon either at 975 m or 7.8 m (not recomended).

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

In a parabolic motion, the position of the flying object is given by the vector position:

r =( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

r = position vector

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = module of the initial velocity vector

α = angle of lanching

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time

g = gravity acceleration (-9.8 m/s²)

The vector "r" can be expressed as a sum of vectors:

r = rx + ry

where

rx = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)

ry = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

rx and ry are the x-component and the y-component of "r" respectively (see figure).

a) We have to find the module of r1 in the figure. Note that the y-component of r1 is null.

r1 = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

Knowing the the y-component is 0, we can obtain the time of flight of the cannon ball.

0 = y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

If the origin of the reference system is located where the cannon is, the y0 and x0 = 0.

0 = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)         (we discard the solution t = 0)    

0 = v0 sin α + 1/2 g t

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = -2 * 100 m/s * sin 53° / (-9.8 m/s²) = 16.3 s  

Now, we can obtain the x-component of r1 and its module will be the distance from the wall at which the cannon sould be placed:

x = x0 + v0 t cos α

x = 0 m + 100m/s * 16.3 s * cos 53

x = 981 m

The vector r1 can be written as:

r1 = (981 m ; 0)

The module of r1 will be: x = \sqrt{(981 m)^{2} + (0 m)^{2}}

<u>Then, the cannon should be placed 981 m from the wall.</u>

b) The procedure is the same as in point a) only that now the y-component of the vector r2 ( see figure) is not null:

r2y = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t² )

The module of this vector is 10 m, then, we can obtain the time and with that time we can calculate at which distance the cannon should be placed as in point a).

module of r2y = 10 m

10 m = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

0 = 1/2 g t² + v0 t sin α - 10 m

Let´s replace with the data:

0 = 1/2 (-9.8 m/s² ) t² + 100 m/s * sin 53 * t - 10 m

0= -4.9 m/s² * t² + 79.9 m/s * t - 10 m

Solving the quadratic equation we obtain two values of "t"

t = 0.13 s and t = 16.2 s

Now, we can calculate the module of the vector r2x at each time:

r2x = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)

r2x = (0 m + 100m/s * 16.2 s * cos 53 ; 0)

r2x = (975 m; 0)

Module of r2x = 975 m

at t = 0.13 s

r2x = ( 0 m + 100m/s * 0.13 s * cos 53 ; 0)

r2x = (7.8 m ; 0)

module r2x = 7.8 m

You can place the cannon either at 975 m or at 7.8 m (see the red trajectory in the figure) although it could be dangerous to place it too close to the enemy fortress!
