Answer:A pendulum illustrates the conservation of energy. The pendulum has the most potential energy - the energy of position or stored energy - when it is highest above the ground. It has the most kinetic energy - the energy of motion - when it is moving the fastest. As the pendulum swings downward, the potential energy changes to kinetic energy. As it swings upward, the kinetic energy changes to potential energy. The back-and-forth swinging of a pendulum is simple harmonic motion - motion that repeats periodically. The period of a pendulum is the time needed for one complete swing back and forth. This period is constant; it changes only if the length of the pendulum is changed. Ask student to time the periods of their pendulums when the pendulums swing through a longer distance (larger arc) or shorter distance (smaller arc). They will discover that the periods are the same. Have the students then change the mass by adding one or more washer to their pendulum. When the students time the periods, they discover that the period does not change if the mass is changed. Ask students to experiment to find what will change the period of the pendulum. Students will discover that the period will change if the pendulum’s length is changed.

What were the events surrounding the siege and surrender of vicksburg
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Look below

Explanation:

First off, Vicksburg was one of the Union Army’s most successful campaigns of the American Civil War. The Vicksburg campaign was also one of the longest. Although General Ulysses S. Grant’s first attempt to take the city failed in the winter of 1862-63, he renewed his efforts in the spring. Admiral David Porter (1813-91) had run his flotilla past the Vicksburg defenses in early May as Grant marched his army down the west bank of the river opposite Vicksburg, crossed back to Mississippi and drove toward Jackson. After defeating a Confederate force near Jackson, Grant turned back to Vicksburg. On May 16, he defeated a force under General John C. Pemberton (1814-81) at Champion Hill. Pemberton retreated back to Vicksburg, and Grant sealed the city by the end of May. In three weeks, Grant’s men marched 180 miles, won five battles and captured some 6,000 prisoners. Grant made some attacks after bottling Vicksburg but found the Confederates well entrenched. Preparing for a long siege, his army constructed 15 miles of trenches and enclosed Pemberton’s force of 29,000 men inside the perimeter. It was only a matter of time before Grant, with 70,000 troops, captured Vicksburg. Attempts to rescue Pemberton and his force failed from both the east and west, and conditions for both military personnel and civilians deteriorated rapidly. Many residents moved to tunnels dug from the hillsides to escape the constant bombardments. Pemberton surrendered on July 4, 1863, and President Abraham Lincoln (1809-65) wrote that the Mississippi River “again goes unvexed to the sea.” The town of Vicksburg would not celebrate the Fourth of July for 81 years.
