Answer:
The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.
Explanation:
- When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
- The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
- The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
- The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
- When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
- When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
- Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.
Mechanical(ME) energy, in physical sciences, is the sum of kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). Below are the calculation in obtaining the energies,
(1) KE = 0.5mv² = 0.5(0.1 kg) x (2 m/s)² = 0.2 J
(2) PE = md = (0.1 kg) x (1.5 m) = 0.15 J
(3) ME = KE + PE = 0.2 J + 0.15 J = 0.35 J
Thus, the mechanical energy is 0.35 Joules.
Answer:
Yes, the answer on <em>how far off the ground a typical truck is happens to be</em> physically realistic.
Explanation:
This concept could be explained with when someone is viewing a picture from a particular distance. The farther the person is from the picture, the smaller the details of the picture and the higher they picture would be unappriciated and vice versa.
Likewise the small truck on ground. <em>The distance off ground the truck is being viewed, the smaller the truck would become.</em>
