Answer:
The mass has likely lost some of its mechanical energy to resistance on its path.
Explanation:
The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies (KE and PE.) Ideally, the mechanical energy of a simply pendulum should be "conserved." In other words, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the simply pendulum should stays the same as it travels along its path.
Indeed, as the pendulum travels, some of its PE will convert to KE and back. However, the sum of these two energies is supposed to stay the same.
- When the pendulum moves from the highest point to the bottom of the path, some of its PE converts to KE. (The pendulum speeds up in this process.)
- When the pendulum moves from the bottom of its path to the opposite side, its KE is converted back to PE. (The pendulum slows down as it moves towards the other side of the path.)
However, in practice, the mechanical energy of pendulums isn't always conserved. For example, various kinds of resistances (such as air resistance) act on the pendulum as it moves. That would slow down the pendulum. Some of the pendulum's energies would be converted to heat and is lost to the surroundings.
In effect, the mechanical energy of the pendulum would become smaller and smaller over time. When the pendulum travels back towards the girl, its potential energy would be smaller than the initial value when at the girl's chin.
Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.
I got you
Explanation:
normal force = 400 g cos 35
friction force up slope = .6 (400 g) cos 35
weight component down slope = 400 g sin 35
400 a = 400 g sin 35 - .6 (400 g cos 35)
a = g (sin 35 - .6 cos 35) = .082 g
I hope this helps you
Answer:
In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.
