Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:
