Answer:

B.because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy

Explanation:

You can calculate the speed as it hits the ground because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy.

In this way, total energy can be conserved.

  • We can equate the kinetic energy and potential energy.
  • From this we can solve for the velocity.
  • This way, we know that the potential energy is changing to kinetic energy.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 j electrical energy is
MAVERICK [17]

Here is the energy that is left after the quantity of energy is transformed: 750 j of electrical energy is changed into 400 j of kinetic or mechanical energy, which is then turned into 0.32 j of efficient energy.

To run the fan, electrical energy is utilized.

Here, under the specified circumstances, 750 J of electrical energy is utilized to operate the fan, which is transformed into 400 J of kinetic energy. As a result, 350 J of energy is wasted due to various frictional and resistive losses.

Therefore, we may conclude that only 400 J of the 750 J available energy is used to power the fan, with the remaining energy being wasted as a result of friction.

Additionally, we can state that this fan's effectiveness will be

n = Useful ÷ Total

n = 400 ÷ 750

n = 8 ÷ 25

n = 0.32
