1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.
2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as
Where,
a = Acceleration
A = Amplitude
= Angular velocity
From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to
From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to
Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz
Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another
Explanation:
The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.
Practical examples include:
- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy
- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy
- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity
initial velocity distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase =
The car is in the pit stop for 5s
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s
total time=
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
=
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
