Answer:

B) Periodic Motion

Explanation:

When a pendulum is friction-less, i.e there are no damping forces acting on it, its motion will be periodic, i.e it will bob up and down going from potential energy to kinetic energy and back. Thus, the motion of the pendulum can be best described by the term "period motion", hence choice B.

If however, forces do act on the pendulum, and if they acts as to damp the pendulum, it will oscillate less and less as time goes by, and eventually come to a stop (in the real world this damping force is usually air resistance ). And if the force acts in such a way that it increases the oscillations, the pendulum will swing higher and higher, and the system will go haywire! :)

Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

Someone can make an introduction about getting a flu shot because, mostly everyone in the world have gotten or just got a flu shot. One example of a pro is that, a flu shot can prevent the flu, and other deadly sicknesses. On example of a con is that, some flu shots can carry side effects which is something that should be tested before given to adults and especially kids!!! Hope this helps!!! Good luck

Goshia [24]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to power, defined as the amount of energy applied over a period of time.

The energy in this case is the accumulated in the form of potential energy, over a period of time. Thus we will have that the mathematical expression of the power can be expressed as

$P = \frac{E}{t}$
