1.How is the law of conservation of energy demonstrated by the movement of the pendulum?

1 answer:

6 0

1. Law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created, nor destroyed, for example, windmills take kinetic energy(movement energy) and convert it into electrical energy using gears and a generator as well as the blades.

so this supports it because the pendulum never reaches the same height twice unless you reset it so the energy is always getting less and less and not randomly getting back onto the pendulum.

2.Gravity, friction and air resistance slow it down as well

3. at the top, potential energy is the amount of energy something has relative to the amount it can disperse before stopping, for example, a book on a shelf has more potential energy than that of a book on a table, this is because when the shelf book falls it will create more energy than the table book.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

$W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N$ is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

$d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m$

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

$I=\Delta p = m \Delta v$

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

$\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

$I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s$

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in term

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$N_{y} =Ncos$ Ф,

$N_{x} =-Nsin$ Ф

Explanation:

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in terms of the length of the vector NNN and the angle θθtheta, with the components separated by a comma.

Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction while scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

This a vector quantity

from the diagram the horizontal component of the length of the vector will be

$N_{y} =Ncos$ Ф

the vertical component will be

$N_{x} =-Nsin$ Ф

this is in the opposite direction because the x can be extrapolated to the negative axis
