The formula for potential energy is
E(p) = mgh
(Mass x gravity x height)
Therefore energy = (5.3)(9.8)(6.6)
= 342.8 J
How did I get 9.8?
9.8 is the constant for gravity
The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing is also 918 J.
Assume the origin of the coordinate system to be at the lowest point of the pendulum's swing. A pendulum, when raised to the highest point has potential energy since it is raised to a height h above the origin. At the highest point, the pendulum's velocity becomes zero, hence it has no kinetic energy. Its energy at the highest point is wholly potential.
When the pendulum swings down from its highest position, it gains velocity. Hence a part of its potential energy begins to convert itself into kinetic energy. If no dissipative forces such as air resistance exist, then, the law of conservation of energy can be applied to the swing.
Under the action of conservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant.This means that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of a body remains constant.
When the pendulum reaches the lowest point of its swing, it is at the origin of the chosen coordinate system. Its vertical displacement from the origin is zero, hence its potential energy with respect to the origin is zero. Therefore the entire potential energy of 918 J should have been converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy.
Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point of its swing is equal to the potential energy it had at its highest point, which is equal to <u>918 J.</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
The two charges are q and Q - q. Let the distance between them is r
Use the formula for coulomb's law for the force between the two charges
So, the force between the charges q and Q - q is given by
For maxima and minima, differentiate the force with respect to q.
For maxima and minima, the value of dF/dq = 0
So, we get
q = Q /2
Now 
the double derivate is negative, so the force is maxima when q = Q / 2 .
Answer:
P V = N R T is the ideal gas equation
P2 / P1 = T2 / T1
The pressure will increase.
