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.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

Can someone please help me? If somebody pushes a cart with 4N of force and the cart moves a distance of 2 meters, how much work
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Work done, W = 8 J

Explanation:

We have,

Force acting on the cart is 4 N

Cart covers a distance of 2 m

We need to find the work done by the cart. Work done by an object is given in terms of force and displacement. It can be given by :

W=Fd\\\\W=4\ N\times 2\ m\\\\W=8\ J

So, the work done by the cart is 8 J.

The figure below shows a combination of capacitors. Find (a) the equivalent capacitance of combination, and (b) the energy store
velikii [3]

Answer:

A) C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶  F,  B)   U₃ = 3 J,  U₄ = 0.5 J

Explanation:

In a complicated circuit, the method of solving them is to work the circuit in pairs, finding the equivalent capacitance to reduce the circuit to simpler forms.

In this case let's start by finding the equivalent capacitance.

A) Let's solve the part where C1 and C3 are. These two capacitors are in serious

         \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_3}            (you has an mistake in the formula)

         \frac{1}{C_{eq1}} = (\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{15}) \  10^{6}

         \frac{1}{C_{eq1}} = 0.1   10⁶

         C_{eq1} = 10 10⁻⁶ F

capacitors C₂, C₄ and C₅ are in series

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2}} = \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_4} + \frac{1}{C_5}

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2} }  = (\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{30} +   \frac{1}{10} ) \ 10^6

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2} } = 0.2 10⁶

          C_{eq2} = 5 10⁻⁶ F

the two equivalent capacitors are in parallel therefore

          C_{eq} = C_{eq1} + C_{eq2}

          C_{eq} = (10 + 5) 10⁻⁶

          C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶  F

B) the energy stored in C₃

The charge on the parallel voltage is constant

is the sum of the charge on each branch

         Q = C_{eq} V

         Q = 15 10⁻⁶ 6

         Q = 90 10⁻⁶ C

the charge on each branch is

         Q₁ = Ceq1 V

         Q₁ = 10 10⁻⁶ 6

          Q₁ = 60 10⁻⁶ C

         Q₂ = C_{eq2} V

         Q₂ = 5 10⁻⁶ 6

         Q₂ = 30 10⁻⁶ C

now let's analyze the load on each branch

Branch C₁ and C₃

           

In series combination the charge is constant    Q = Q₁ = Q₃

          U₃ = \frac{Q^2}{2 C_3}

          U₃ =\frac{ 60 \ 10^{-6}}{2 \ 10 \ 10^{-6}}

          U₃ = 3 J

In Branch C₂, C₄, C₅

since the capacitors are in series the charge is constant Q = Q₂ = Q₄ = Q₅

          U₄ = \frac{30 \ 10^{-6}}{ 2 \ 30 \ 10^{-6}}

          U₄ = 0.5 J

It’s your birthday, and to celebrate you’re going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 100 m above a raging riv
amm1812

Answer:

X'=50.4\,m

Explanation:

Given that:

Height of jump, h=100\,m

length of elastic cord, l=30\,m

spring constant of the cord, k=40\,N.m^{-1}

mass of the body that jumps, m=80\,kg

Force on the bungee elastic cord:

F=m.g

F=80\times 9.8

Now this force F will be responsible for the elongation in the elastic cord, so:

F=k.x ............................(1)

where :

k = spring constant

x = extension in the elastic cord

using eq. (1)

80\times 9.8=40\times x

x=19.6\,m

So the cord stretches 19.6 meters more beyond its original length of 30 meters.

Hence, the remaining distance from the river surface at the bottom is:

X'=100-(30+19.6)

X'=50.4\,m
