Answer:
a) in the upper position. b) in the lower position. c) in the lower position. d) in the upper position. f) Its kinetic and potential energy will be 0, but the energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum
Explanation:
In the attached image we have the sketch of a pendulum system.
A) The potential energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because the elevation (h) is maximum with respect to the reference point.
B) the potential energy is minimum when the pendulum is in the lower pasition (image, fig 2) because the elevation (h) is cero with respect to the reference point.
Note: When the pendulum is coming down the potential energy is transforming in kinetic energy.
C) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the lower position (image, fig 2), because the potential energy has been transformed in kinetic energy.
D) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because at this moment the pendulum is at rest it means its velocity is 0. We know that the kinetic energy depends on the velocity.
f) The energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum
Answer:
1547.6 J
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of initial and final energy is the same. Energy can only be transformed into other forms but can't be created nor lost
Initial kinetic energy of the hammer system is given by
where m is mass of the body and v is the velocity
Substituting m for mass of hammer which is 2.44 Kg and v for 62 m/s
Since the hammer comes to rest, the final kinetic energy is zero since it's velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by
hence 0-4689.68 J=-4689.68 J
Change in total internal energy is given by
and in this case the change in potential energy is zero
Since only 0.33 of this energy is converted hence
