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.

Answer:

Horizontal component = 16.8 m/s

Vertical component = 46.0 m/s

Explanation:

If we denote the initial velocity by <em>v</em> and the angle above the horizontal by <em>θ</em>,

the horizontal component of this initial velocity is given by

$v_x = v\cos \theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\cos\,(70.0^\circ) = 16.8\text{ m/s}$

The vertical component is given by

$v_y = v\sin\theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\sin\,(70.0^\circ) = 46.0\text{ m/s}$

Answer:

a) 51.8 cm³

b) kg/m³ is a dimension of density (mass/volume). The regular unitys for volume are m³, cm³, L, gallons.

Explanation:

a) The density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm³. When put in water, the piece of gold will occupy a volume, so that the volume of water will be displaced. To know the volume, we must divide the mass for the density (mass must be in grams because of the units of the density)

V = 1000/19.3

V = 51.8 cm³
