(a) -0.211 m
At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is
The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is
the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is
L = 36.1 cm
So the y-displacement of the mass is
(b) 0.347 J
The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to
where we have
m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
is the vertical displacement of the pendulum
So, the work done by gravity is
And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.
(c) Zero
The work done by a force is:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement
In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula
and so the work done is zero.
Answer:
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Explanation:
Given that
m₁=m₂ = m
m₃ = 2 m
Given that speed of the two pieces
u₁=- 25 j m/s
u₂ =- 25 i m/s
Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s
From linear momentum conservation
Pi= Pf
0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v
0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v
2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
