Starting from rest, a 2-m-long pendulum swings from an angleof

Answer:

D.) 1m/s

Explanation:

Assume the initial angle of the swing is 12.8 degree with respect to the vertical. We can calculate the vertical distance from this initial point to the lowest point by first calculate the vertical distance from this point the the pivot point:

L_1 = L*cos(12.8) = 2*0.975 = 1.95 m

where L is the pendulum length

The vertical distance from the lowest point to the pivot point L_2 is the pendulum length 2m

this means the vertical distance from this initial point to the lowest point is simply:

L_3 = L_2 - L_1 = 2 - 1.95 = 0.05 m

As the pendulum travel (vertically) from the initial point to the bottom point, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv^2/2

where m is the mass of the pendulum, g  = 10 m/s2 is the constant gravitational acceleration, h = 0.05 is the vertical it travels, v is the pendulum velocity at the bottom, which we are trying to solve for.

The m on both sides of the equation cancel out

v^2 = 2gh = 2*10*0.05 = 1

v = \sqrt{1} = 1 m/s

so D is the correct answer

Where does the majority of the mass of an atom come from
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume.  I hope this helps you :D
