Krakatau volcano ( Indonesia ) is well known for its catastrophic 1883 eruption. The result of this eruption was 36,000 deaths. This eruption has been assigned  a VEI ( Volcanic Explosivity Index ) of 6 ( or colossal ). VEI is a 0 to 8 index of increasing explosivity.  VEI of 6  means : a plume height over 25 km and a displacement volume : 10 to 100,000 km³. The total energy released during the eruption was equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT.
Answer: VEI of 6.

1. You released a pendulum of mass 1kg from a height of 0.05m
photoshop1234 [79]

a. The speed of the pendulum when it reaches the bottom is 0.9 m/s.

b. The height reached by the pendulum is 0.038 m.

c. When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the pendulum when it reaches bottom</h3>

K.E = 100%P.E - 18%P.E

where;

  • P.E is potential; energy

K.E(bottom) = 0.82P.E

K.E(bottom) = 0.82(mgh)

K.E(bottom) = 0.82(1 x 9.8 x 0.05) = 0.402 J

<h3>Speed of the pendulum</h3>

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

2K.E = mv²

v² = (2K.E)/m

v² = (2 x 0.402)/1

v² = 0.804

v = √0.804

v = 0.9 m/s

<h3>Final potential energy </h3>

P.E = 100%K.E - 7%K.E

P.E = 93%K.E

P.E = 0.93(0.402 J)

P.E = 0.374 J

<h3>Height reached by the pendulum</h3>

P.E = mgh

h = P.E/mg

h = (0.374)/(1 x 9.8)

h = 0.038 m

<h3>when the pendulum stops</h3>

When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.

Thus, the speed of the pendulum when it reaches the bottom is 0.9 m/s.

The height reached by the pendulum is 0.038 m.

When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.
