Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.
Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.
Mathematically also potential energy is represented as
Potential energy= mgh
Where m is the mass of the pendulum.
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height from the bottom z the ground.
At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.
The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as
Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2
Where m is the mass of the pendulum
v is the velocity of the pendulum
At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.
Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.
Answer:
1.) 4m
2.) 37 m
3.) 62m
4.) 2.5 s
Explanation:
1.) Given that the
Thinking distance = 1m
Breaking distance = 3m
Stopping distance = breaking distance + thinking distance
Stopping distance = 1 + 3 = 4m
2.) Given that the
Stopping distance = 52 m
Thinking distance = 15m
Breaking distance = 52 - 15 = 37m
3.) The stopping distance = 76m
Thinking distance = 14m
Breaking distance = 76 - 14 = 62m
It take the brakes 62m to slow the car down to a stop.
4.) Given that a lorry travels 28m when stopping from a speed of 4m/s. If its braking distance was 18m, what was the driver’s reaction time?
Thinking = stopping distance - braking distance
Thinking distance = 28 - 18 = 10m
Speed = distance/time
4 = 10/reaction time
Reaction time = 10/4
Reaction time = 2.5 s
5.) Question incomplete
It causes a movement of convection in the water resulting in a pulling current.
Hope this helpss
Answer:
Kinetic energy = 35840 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 70kg
Velocity = 32m/s
To find the kinetic energy;
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
M represents mass measured in kilograms.
V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
K.E = 35840 Joules.
Therefore, the kinetic energy possessed by the cheetah is 35840 Joules.
