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

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.

In what climates would you expect soil to form fastest? Why?
enyata [817]

Answer:

Soils develop faster in warm, moist climates and slowest in cold or arid ones. Rainfall is one of the most important climate factors in soil formation.
