Answer:

0.2 J

Explanation:

The pendulum forms a right triangle, with hypotenuse of 50 cm and base of 30 cm. The height of this triangle can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(50 cm)² = a² + (30 cm)²

a = 40 cm

The height of the triangle is 40 cm. The height of the pendulum when it is at the bottom is 50 cm. So the end of the pendulum is lifted by 10 cm. Assuming the mass is concentrated at the end of the pendulum, the potential energy is:

PE = mgh

PE = (0.200 kg) (9.8 N/kg) (0.10 m)

PE = 0.196 J

Rounding to one significant figure, the potential energy is 0.2 J.

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

Considering first portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

Considering second portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

Considering third portion of graph,

Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

C. Horizontal component of velocity

Explanation:

Object in motion stays in motion,

nothing works against its motion in the horizontal direction, unlike in the vertical direction, gravity pulls object down.

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.
