Tools we'll use:

--     Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

--     Kinetic energy (of a moving object) = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

When the pendulum is at the top of its swing,
its potential energy is

                             (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                         =  (5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.36 m)

                         =      (5 x 9.8 x 0.36)        joules

                         =            17.64 joules .

Energy is conserved ... it doesn't appear or disappear ...
so that number is exactly the kinetic energy the pendulum
has at the bottom of the swing, only now, it's kinetic energy:

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by 2.5 kg:

                   17.64 joules / 2.5 kg  =  speed²

Write out the units of joules:

                   17.64 kg-m²/s²  /  2.5 kg  =  speed²

                   (17.64 / 2.5) (m²/s²)  =  speed²

                       7.056 m²/s²  =  speed²

Take the square root
of each side:              Speed = √(7.056 m²/s²)

                                           =    2.656 m/s .

Looking through the choices, we're overjoyed to see
that one if them is  ' 2.7 m/s '.  Surely that's IT !
_______________________________

Note:
The question asked for the pendulum's 'velocity', but our (my) calculation
only yielded the speed.

In order to describe a velocity, the direction of the motion must be known,
and the question doesn't give any information on exactly how the pendulum
is hanging, and how it's swinging. 

We know that at the bottom of its swing, the motion is completely horizontal,
but we have no clue as to what direction.  So all we can discuss is its speed.

which of these is an example of a biotic factor that could affect the size of a population A-climate b-disease c-a natural disas
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

AB = 155 ft

Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft

Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft

d = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light
larisa [96]
<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.
