Answer:
a The kinetic energy is
b The height of the center of mass above that position is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the rod is
The mass of the rod
The angular speed at the lowest point is
Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is
Substituting values
Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as
From the law of conservation of energy
The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point
Therefore
Explanation:
Tectonic plate interactions are classified into three basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.
