Answer:
The mass has likely lost some of its mechanical energy to resistance on its path.
Explanation:
The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies (KE and PE.) Ideally, the mechanical energy of a simply pendulum should be "conserved." In other words, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the simply pendulum should stays the same as it travels along its path.
Indeed, as the pendulum travels, some of its PE will convert to KE and back. However, the sum of these two energies is supposed to stay the same.
- When the pendulum moves from the highest point to the bottom of the path, some of its PE converts to KE. (The pendulum speeds up in this process.)
- When the pendulum moves from the bottom of its path to the opposite side, its KE is converted back to PE. (The pendulum slows down as it moves towards the other side of the path.)
However, in practice, the mechanical energy of pendulums isn't always conserved. For example, various kinds of resistances (such as air resistance) act on the pendulum as it moves. That would slow down the pendulum. Some of the pendulum's energies would be converted to heat and is lost to the surroundings.
In effect, the mechanical energy of the pendulum would become smaller and smaller over time. When the pendulum travels back towards the girl, its potential energy would be smaller than the initial value when at the girl's chin.

Answer:
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8J
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = mgh
Where mass(m) = 11kg
Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8m²/s
height = assumed to be 1m
Force(F) = mg
Force(F) = 11×9.8 = 107.8N
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8×1
= 107.8J
Power = (voltage) x (current)
13 watts = (6 volts) x (current)
Divide each side by (6 volts):
Current = (13 watts) / (6 volts)
Current = (13/6) Amperes
<em>Current = 2.17 Amperes</em>
Answer:
11m
Explanation:
Wavelength of a wave is the distance between successive crests and trough of a wave. It is represented mathematically as the ratio of the speed of the wave to its frequency. It can be expressed as;
Wavelength ¶ = wave speed (v) /frequency (f)
Given the speed of light c = 2.9979 10^8 m/s.
frequency of the radio wave = 27.075 MHz = 27.075×10^6Hz
Wavelength = 2.9979 10^8/27.075×10^6
Wavelength = 0.11×10^2
Wavelength = 11m
Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave being used is 11m
