A monkey (mass m) is swinging on a vine of length L while carrying a bunch of bananas (a large bunch, mass m/2). His swinging mo
tion has period T and reaches maximum height during the swing h (measured from the bottom of his arc of motion). He accidentally lets go of his bananas when he is at a height of h/2. What happens to the amplitude and period of his oscillation as a result? Explain.
The period of oscillation will remain unchanged because the period of oscillation of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob . Here monkey along with bunch of banana represents bob .
When the monkey and banana were at height h /2 , they have potential energy as well as kinetic energy . banana is separated from the system . It carried its total energy along with it . But the energy of monkey remained intact with it . So it will keep on moving as usual . So it will attain the same maximum height as before .
Hence the amplitude of oscillation too will remain unchanged .
Stressing an equilibrium simply means that the physical properties in which already exists are balanced. Stress can be applied by either changing the pressure or the volume or temperature.
when some one gets charged up by maybe static eletricity the person will sustain the energy and the energy will make a force field around the person which can and will attract paper and he will be attractive
