Answer:

<h2>A. The mechanical energy transforms to thermal energy as the pendulum slows and eventually stops moving.</h2>

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that the amount of energy is a constant, that is, it cannot be created or destroyed, it just can be transformed into different forms.

For example, in real life, a pendulum will stop moving eventually. But, why is the pendulum going to stop? Because, there's friction in that motion, which means that the energy that's being used, it's transforming into heat by friction. In terms of energy, that heat represents a subtractor of the movement.

So, the mechanical energy, which is kinetic and potenial, it's transforming to "thermal energy", making the pendulum to slow down, until stops.

Now, in a perfect environment (which doesn't exist), the pendulum would never stop, and there weren'n any heat, because there wouldn't be friction. But that's not the case here.

Therefore, the best answer is A.

a runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. How fast is she running after 1.1 seconds

grigory [225]

Acceleration x time = velocity

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation.

3 $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ x 1.1 s = ?

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2kg, is traveling along the line y=6.00m

frutty [35]

Answer:

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

mA = 55.2 Kg

vA = 3.45 m/s

rA = 6.00 m

mB = 62.4 Kg

vB = 4.23 m/s

rB = 3.00 m

mC = 72.1 Kg

vC = 4.75 m/s

rC = - 5.00 m

then we apply the equation

L = (mv x r)

⇒ LA = mA*vA x rA = 55.2 *(3.45 i)x(6 j) = (1142.64 k) Kgm/s

⇒ LB = mB*vB x rB = 62.4 *(4.23 j)x(3 i) = (- 791.856 k) Kgm/s

⇒ LC = mC*vC x rC = 72.1 *(- 4.75 j)x(- 5 i) = (- 1712.375 k) Kgm/s

Finally, the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin is

L = LA + LB + LC = (1142.64 - 791.856 -1712.375) k Kgm/s

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

A transverse standing wave is set up on a string that is held fixed at both ends. The amplitude of the standing wave at an antin

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string at an antinode is 5.9899 m/s

b) the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string at x = 0.075 m is 4.2338 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as the equation of standing wave on a string is fixed at both ends

y = 2AsinKx cosωt

but k = 2π/λ and ω = 2πf

λ = 4 × 0.150 = 0.6 m

and f = v/λ = 260 / 0.6 = 433.33 Hz

ω = 2πf = 2π × 433.33 = 2722.69

given that A = 2.20 mm = 2.2×10⁻³

so $V_{max1}$ = A × ω

$V_{max1}$ = 2.2×10⁻³ × 2722.69 m/s

$V_{max1}$ = 5.9899 m/s

therefore, the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string at an antinode is 5.9899 m/s

A' = 2AsinKx

= 2.20sin( 2π/0.6 ( 0.075) rad )

= 2.20 sin( 0.7853 rad ) mm

= 2.20 × 0.706825 mm

A' = 1.555 mm = 1.555×10⁻³

$V_{max2}$ = A' × ω

$V_{max2}$ = 1.555×10⁻³ × 2722.69

$V_{max2}$ = 4.2338 m/s

Therefore, the maximum transverse speed of a point on the string at x = 0.075 m is 4.2338 m/s

Photon Lighting Company determines that the supply and demand functions for its most popular lamp are as follows: S(p) = 400 - 4

torisob [31]

Answer: The correct answer is (C).

Explanation:

Supply function:

$S(p)=400-4p+0.00002p^4$

Demand function:

$D(p)=2800-0.0012p^3$

S(p)=D(p), price for which supply is equal to demand:

$S(p)=D(p)=400-4p+0.00002p^4=2800-0.0012p^3$

After solving this above equation graphically, we will get the values of p.

1) p =96.236

2) p=( -118.258)

We will reject the negative value of p.

So, the value of p that price for which the supply equals the demand is $ 96.236 $\approx$ $96.24. Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
