What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?

Physics

Alchen [17]4 years ago

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

  • When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
  • The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
  • The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
  • The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
  • When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
  • When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
  • Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.

A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².

Which of the following lists Earth's compositional layers in order of increasing density?
WITCHER [35]
The lists that arranges the Earth's compositional layers in order of increasing density is CRUST, MANTLE AND THEN CORE. The core is considered as the most dense and the lithosphere, which makes the outermost core, is considered as having the least density. Hope that this answer helps.

As temperature of this substance rises from 20°C to 50°C, the substance _______ heat and its kinetic energy _________ .
stellarik [79]

Answer:

absorbs heat and its kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

As we know that heat is defined as the change in the temperature as there is increase in the temperature change then the heat will increase or decrease with respect to increase or decrease in temperature change.

In the given, question temperature is changing from 20° to 50° which means there is increase in the temperature which results in the absorption of heat. And increase temperature will increase the average speed of the molecules which results in increase in kinetic energy.
