The change in velocity is +4 m/s to the right (or -4 m/s to the left).
The object's mass is irrelevant.
This contraption is a lot of fun, and you really should try it
some time.
The sound waves move from one can to the other one
by traveling through the string.
These are the correct solutions:
It is 11 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone; therefore, it is 8 a.m. in the Pacific Time Zone. (3 hrs behind)
It is 3 p.m. in the Central Time Zone; therefore, 2 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone. (1 hr behind)
It is 6 p.m. in the Pacific Time Zone; therefore, it is 4 p.m in Hawaii. (2 or 3 hours behind depending on time of year)
It is 6 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 11 p.m. in the Eastern Time Zone (5 or 6 hours behind depending on time of year).
It is 3 p.m. in Hawaii; therefore, it is 6 p.m. in the Mountain Time Zone (3 or 4 hours behind depending on time of year).
Answer:
0.2 J
Explanation:
The pendulum forms a right triangle, with hypotenuse of 50 cm and base of 30 cm. The height of this triangle can be found with Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
(50 cm)² = a² + (30 cm)²
a = 40 cm
The height of the triangle is 40 cm. The height of the pendulum when it is at the bottom is 50 cm. So the end of the pendulum is lifted by 10 cm. Assuming the mass is concentrated at the end of the pendulum, the potential energy is:
PE = mgh
PE = (0.200 kg) (9.8 N/kg) (0.10 m)
PE = 0.196 J
Rounding to one significant figure, the potential energy is 0.2 J.
