Answer:

Option C, The total energy consists of half the original potential energy and half of the original potential energy converted to kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Complete question

A pendulum is pulled back from its equilibrium (center) position and then released. When the pendulum bob is halfway between the high point and the low point in its swing, is the total energy kinetic energy, potential energy, or both? Explain.

The total energy is kinetic energy only.

The total energy is potential energy only.

The total energy consists of half the original potential energy and half of the original potential energy converted to kinetic energy.

The total energy consists of one-fourth the original potential energy and three-fourths of the original potential energy converted to kinetic energy.

Solution

Total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy and as a pendulum moves back and forth, there is continuous transformation of energy from one form to the other form. i.e from kinetic energy to potential energy and vice versa.  

When the pendulum is released from some position, the potential energy  in it start converting into kinetic energy with the increase in speed of motion of pendulum bob

Hence, option C is correct

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

An automatic clothing drier spins at 51.6 rev/min. If the radius of the drier drum is 30.5cm, how fast (in m/s) is the drier dru
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1.648 m/s

Explanation:

1 revolution equals 2pi radians.

Calculate the angular velocity by taking 2pi x v, then divide by 60 seconds.

To convert this to m/s, simply take this answer and multiply it by 0.305m (a.k.a. the radius of the circle).
