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

Answer :Scientific Definition of Inference

In science, there are a few different types of inferences, but in general an inference is: “An educated guess made through observation.” You might use these inferences to share a potential reason why something happens or how it happens.

Oil at 150 C flows slowly through a long, thin-walled pipe of 30-mm inner diameter. The pipe is suspended in a room for which th
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

<em>1.01 W/m</em>

Explanation:

diameter of the pipe d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

radius of the pipe r = d/2 = 0.015 m

external air temperature Ta = 20 °C

temperature of pipe wall Tw = 150 °C

convection coefficient at outer tube surface h = 11 W/m^2-K

From the above,<em> we assumed that the pipe wall and the oil are in thermal equilibrium</em>.

area of the pipe per unit length A = \pi r ^{2} = 7.069*10^{-4} m^2/m

convectional heat loss Q = Ah(Tw - Ta)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x (150 - 20)

Q = 7.069 x 10^-4 x 11 x 130 = <em>1.01 W/m</em>
