Answer:
a) in the upper position. b) in the lower position. c) in the lower position. d) in the upper position. f) Its kinetic and potential energy will be 0, but the energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum
Explanation:
In the attached image we have the sketch of a pendulum system.
A) The potential energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because the elevation (h) is maximum with respect to the reference point.
B) the potential energy is minimum when the pendulum is in the lower pasition (image, fig 2) because the elevation (h) is cero with respect to the reference point.
Note: When the pendulum is coming down the potential energy is transforming in kinetic energy.
C) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the lower position (image, fig 2), because the potential energy has been transformed in kinetic energy.
D) The kinetic energy is maximum when the pendulum is in the upper position (image, fig 1) because at this moment the pendulum is at rest it means its velocity is 0. We know that the kinetic energy depends on the velocity.
f) The energy is transferred to the element or body that stopped the movement of the pendulum

Answer:
d = 1700 meters
Explanation:
During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound. The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds
Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)
Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :
d = 1700 meters
So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
