The correct answer is (A) 2.0 J

Total energy of the pendulum is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. At the instant of time, when the pendulum is at a height <em>h</em> and has a speed <em>v, </em>Its energy is given by,

E=mgh+\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substitute 2.0 kg for <em>m</em>, the mass of the pendulum, 9.81 m/s² for <em>g</em>, the acceleration due to gravity, 0.10 m for <em>h and 4.0 m/s for </em>v<em>.</em>

E=mgh+\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\ =(2.0kg)(9.81m/s^2)(0.10 m)+\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(4.0m/s)^2\\ =17.962J

The pendulum has an initial energy of 20 J. the energy lost is given by,

\Delta E=(20J)-(17.962J)\\ =2.038J=2.0J

Thus, the energy lost by the pendulum is (A) 2.0 J

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

8962.5 N

Explanation:

From fundamental kinematics equations, acceleration, a is given by a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity and t is time

We also know that force is a product of mass and acceleration of an object and substituting a=\frac {v-u}{t}  in the formula F=ma we obtain

F=ma=m\frac {v-u}{t}  where m is the mass of the body

F=60\times\frac {0-23.9}{0.16}=-8962.5 N

Therefore, the force is 8962.5 N

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Given that:

m- mass of first & second piece, 3m-mass of 3rd piece,\bar v_1-velocity of first piece(-23\dot i \ m/s) and \bar v_2 as velocity of 2nd piece (-23\dot j \ m/s)

Let \bar v_3 be velocity of 3rd piece=?

#Vessel is at rest before explosion. Considering conservation of linear momentum:

m\bar v_1 +m\bar v_2 +3m \bar v_3=0   #Dividing both sides by m, m\neq 0

\bar v_1+ \bar v_2 +3\bar v_3=0\\3\bar v_3=-(\bar v_1 +\bar v_2)\\\bar v_3=-\frac{1}{3}(\bar v_1 +\bar v_2)

#Plug the\bar v_1 ,\bar v_2  values:

\bar v_3=-\frac{1}{3}(-23\dot i -23\dot j)=\frac{1}{3}(23\dot i +23\dot j)

#So the magnitude of the third piece is:

|\bar v_3|=\sqrt{(23/3)^2+(23/3)^2}\\=10.84m/s

Magnitude of the 3rd piece is 10.84 m/s

b. To find direction of the magnitude (as an angle relative to the x-axis), we find \angle \theta. The angle is obtained by getting the tan inverse as:

\theta=tan^-^1(\frac{23/3}{23/3})\\=45\textdegree

-The direction of the magnitude (angle relative to the x-axis) is 45°
