I am pretty sure this is a demonstration. A demonstration is a method of experiment that had only been done once, while an experiment is a method that has been done repeatedly. Hope this helps!
Answer:
1. 2.98m/s
2. 0.28m
Explanation:
The energy equation would work great in this scenario:
E=K+U. Since all of our energy comes from gravitational potential energy, and we are interested in finding the kinetic energy, all our mechanical energy must be in kinetic form, therefore:

We can use energy to find max height.
For energy, set the equation E=K+U as 437.7=(mass adult+mass senior)gh:

Answer:
the object will not return to the original position because it will not have any forces helping it to go up the hill
the center of mass falls since it is going downwards
Hope this helps!! have a great day

Answer:

Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

where
L is the lenght of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum
We notice from the formula that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the system
In this problem:
-The pendulum comes back to the point of release exactly 2.4 seconds after the release. --> this means that the period of the pendulum is
T = 2.4 s
- The length of the pendulum is
L = 1.3 m
Re-arranging the equation for g, we can find the acceleration due to gravity on the planet:
