Answer:

Its gravitational potential energy must increase.

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Mechanical Energy</u>

The total amount of mechanical energy, in a closed system in the absence of dissipative forces like friction or air resistance, remains constant.

This means that energy cannot disappear or appear and that potential energy can become kinetic energy or vice versa.

In a closed system like a pendulum, two types of energies are considered: Gravitational potential (U) and kinetic (K). Thus, the sum of both energies must remain constant in time.

Suppose the pendulum is at a state where U=150 J, and K=350 J. The total mechanical energy is:

M = 150 J + 350 J = 500 J

If the kinetic energy decreases to a new value, say K = 200 J, then the gravitational potential must increase to compensate for this new condition, that is: U = 300 J

So, It's gravitational potencial energy must increase

Explain how the human ear works
qwelly [4]

The three parts of the ear anatomy are the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The inner ear is also called the cochlea. (‘Cochlea’ means ‘snail’ in Latin; the cochlea gets its name from its distinctive coiled up shape.)

The outer ear consists of the pinna, ear canal and eardrum
The middle ear consists of the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) and ear drum
The inner ear consists of the cochlea, the auditory (hearing) nerve and the brain
Sound waves enter the ear canal and make the ear drum vibrate. This action moves the tiny chain of bones (ossicles – malleus, incus, stapes) in the middle ear. The last bone in this chain ‘knocks’ on the membrane window of the cochlea and makes the fluid in the cochlea move. The fluid movement then triggers a response in the hearing nerve.

After a model rocket reached its maximum height, it then took 5.0 seconds to return to the launch site. what is the approximate
kifflom [539]
Air resistance is ignored.
g = 9.8 m/s².
At maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero.

Let h =  the maximum height reached.
Let u =  the vertical launch velocity.

Because ot takes 5.0 seconds to reach maximum height, therefore
(u m/s) - (9.8 m/s²)*(5 s) = 0 
u = 49 m/s

The maximum height reached is
h = (49 m/s)*(5 s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 s)²
   = 122.5 m

Answer: 122.5 m

and the Potential energy U.

Final Potential energy Uf =0 , And the Initial Potential Energy Ui =m*g*h

<span>Now we will write the equation for a Change in Potential energy ΔU,</span>

ΔU = Uf - Ui

= 0-m*g*h

<span>  ΔU = -m*g*h --Equation 2</span>

Now compare the both equation

<span>Wint = -ΔU</span>

we can rewrite the above equation

ΔU = -W.
