The bob (weight) at the end of a pendulum has a mass of 0.3 kilograms. The bob is pulled to position B and allowed to swing. It
goes all the way to position C and swings back.
The potential energy of the bob at position B is >>1.47 joules. If the maximum height of the bob is 0.45 meters when it swings back, ___ joules of energy was transformed to thermal energy.
>>>>>Use g = 9.8 m/s2 and PE = m × g × h.<<<<<
It's NOT 1.323!!!

Answer:
0.147 J
Explanation:
The total energy that has been transformed into thermal energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy between the initial situation (bob at h=0.5 m above the ground) and the final situation (bob back but at h=0.45 m above the ground).
Therefore, we have
where
m = 0.3 kg is the mass of the bob
g = 9.8 m/s^2
h1 = 0.5 m is the initial height
h2 = 0.45 m is the final height
Substituting, we find the thermal energy
Therefore, the energy transformed into thermal energy is 0.147 J.

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C
R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m
Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:
Substitute numerical values:
The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.
As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).
