A pendulum bob is given some initial potential energy by raising it. Next it is released.

This is a slightly tricky one, but I believe the best answer is C.

The central concept to this question in physics is the "conservation of energy". Energy is always conserved, it is never lost, it simply is converted into other forms.

Initially the pendulum is at rest with potential energy due to gravity and height. When it is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates. However it is true that as the pendulum moves through the air, this will produce an aerodynamic resistance and generate heat, slowing the pendulum down slightly. So the total potential energy at the beginning would be equal to the sum of the kinetic energy at maximum velocity (the lowest part of the swing) + losses due to friction. If this experiment occurred in a vacuum there would be no aerodynamic losses.

B, It is equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing I think.

calculate earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the s

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m * 1609.344 m

= 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

$r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }$ --------- (1)

a = 149.668 * 10^8

E (eccentricity ) = ( 1/60 )^2

$\beta$ = 90°

input the given values into equation 1 above

r = 149.626 * 10^9 m

next calculate the Earths velocity of approach towards the sun using this equation

$v^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 }{r_{c} }$ ------ (2)

Note :

Rc = 149.626 * 10^9 m

equation 2 becomes

( $V^2 = (\frac{4\pi^{2} }{149.626*10^9})$

therefore : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital spee

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster

vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of $\dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h$

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 50 POINTS!

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1) Current decreases; 2) Inverse proportionally; 3) 1[A]

Explanation:

As we can see as the resistance increases the current decreases, if we take two points as an example, when the resistance is equal to 50 [ohms] the current is equal to 1[amp] and when the resistance is equal to 200 [ohms] the current tends to have a value below 0.5 [amp]. Thus demonstrating the decrease in current.

Inverse proportionally, by definition we know that the law of ohm determines the voltage according to resistance and amperage. This is the voltage will be equal to the product of the voltage by the resistance.

$V=I*R\\V = voltage [volts]\\I = current[amp]\\R = resistance [ohms]$

where:

$R =\frac{V}{I} \\or\\I=\frac{V}{R}$

And whenever we have in a fractional number the denominator the variable we are interested in, we can say that this is inversely proportional to the value we are interested in determining. In this case, we can see from the two previous expressions that both the current and the resistance appear in the denominator, therefore they are inversely proportional to each other.

If we place ourselves on the graph on the resistance axis, we see that at 50 [ohm] will correspond a current value equal to 1 [A].
