As a pendulum swings back and forth __________.

Physics
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

E. All of the above.

Explanation:

These are the equations for potential (PE) and kinetic energy (KE):

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass.

v = speed.

At the end points of its swings, the pendulum is at its maximum height and its velocity is zero (for an instant). Then all the energy at these points is potential (answer B).

As the pendulum swings back from the end point it starts to lose height and acquires kinetic energy until it reaches the lowest part of the of its swing. At this point, all the potential energy was transformed into kinetic energy. The potential energy will be zero (because the height is zero) and due to energy conservation, the energy that once was potential energy has to be transformed into some kind of energy, in this case, into kinetic energy (we assume there is no air resistance, in which case some energy would be transformed into thermal energy as well, i.e., heat). (answer A and D).

After the lowest point, the pendulum acquires height (potential energy increases) and, due to the acceleration of gravity, it starts to lose velocity (kinetic energy decreases). Due to conservation of energy, the increase in potential energy must be equal to the decrease in kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy (answer C).

Then, the answer is E. All answers are correct.

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h

Water in a tank is pressurized by air and pressure measured using a multi-fluid manometer. Determine the gage pressure of air in
sattari [20]

Answer:

The gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, P_{atm} = 101 Kpa

P_{gauge} + \rho_w gh_1 + \rho_o gh_2 -\rho_{Hg} gh_3 =P_{atm}

P_{gauge}  = P_{atm} - \rho_w gh_1 - \rho_o gh_2 +\rho_{Hg} gh_3

where;

ρw is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ρo is the density of oil = 800 kg/m³

ρHg is the density of mercury = 13,600 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - (1000* 9.8*0.2) - (800* 9.8*0.3) +(13,600* 9.8*0.46)\\\\P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - 1960 - 2352 + 13610.26\\\\P_{gauge}  = 110,298.26 pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Which skill involves creating representations of complex objects or processes?
Naddik [55]
Making models is a skill that involves creating a representation of complex objects or processes. Through the years, people have been creating models in order to make a clearer visualization and give reality to a certain object. Some example of model making are toys like plastic cars as a model representation of a real car, a plastic plane, model representation of a real plane and a doll, a model representation of us, human. One of the most famous model representation as of today is the film or movie making. This represents the lives of the people and show stories about how people face every challenge in life.
