Answer:

The bottom/center of the pendulum

Explanation:

As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.

As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

This is when the kinetic energy is the highest

As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is $k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$ .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is $m=0.0555\ kg$ , the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is $h=0.536\ m$ , the length the ball compresses the spring is $d=0.04897\ m$ and the acceleration of gravity is $9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy $E_{mi}$ is equal to the final mechanical energy $E_{mf}$ :

$E_{mf}=E_{mi}$

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

$\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh$

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

$k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }$

$k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}$

$k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}$

$k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$
