The correct answer is

A. The mechanical energy transforms to thermal energy as the pendulum slows and eventually stops moving.

In fact, we must keep in mind the presence of the air, which causes some resistance to the motion of the pendulum. As the pendulum moves through the air, part of its mechanical energy is transferred to the molecules of air because of the friction of this molecules with the surface of the pendulum. As a result, the pendulum slows down, and eventually stops. The initial energy of the pendulum has been converted into thermal energy of the molecules of air, which move faster now.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

The first mass is $m_1 = 0.42kg$

The second mass is $m_2 = 0.47kg$

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

Therefore we can say that

$m_1 * 15cm = m_2 * xcm$

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}$

$= \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}$

$x = 13.4 cm$

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged is as a result of the masses ( $m_1 + m_2$ )

Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where ( $m_1 +m_2$ ) and $m_3$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

So basically

$(m_1 + m_2 ) * 20 = m_3 * 30$

$(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 = 30 * m_3$

Making $m_3$ subject

$m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }$

$m_3 = 0.59 kg$

In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

$Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}$

Where,

$C_d$ is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2$

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2$

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

$Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}$

$Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}$

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

The answer is D using the work formula

What action involves a chemical change?

Likurg_2 [28]

<span>BAKING A CAKE </span>

Chemical change is a process where a current substance changes or is made into a new type of substance. Unlike the physical change, which is reversible. Chemical change stays into a its new form. Take for instance these -physical change- examples, making ice cubes. The process involves solidification or freezing where the water becomes ice or solid but when it melts back to its original or typical form with respect to temperature, it’s still water. When the paper is cut into pieces it isn’t burned or exposed to a stimuli that can trigger immediate change in its composition. It’s still the same. On the contrary, baking a cake involves these different compositions or substances –flour, egg, yeast and etc. that is baked to a cake, a newly formed unified substance of all the included ingredients.
