Answer:
The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.
Explanation:
- When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
- The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
- The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
- The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
- When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
- When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
- Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.
Answer:
2.4 mm
Explanation:
Given that:
Initial Original length of the wire L = 3 mm
The stretch of the first wire ΔL= 1. 2 mm
The length of the second wire L'' = 6 mm
The stretch of the second wire ΔL'' = ???
Considering the Tension of the system; the Young modulus and the cross sectional remains constant ; as such:
Thus, the same material under the same tension stretches 2.4 mm
Answer:
437 J
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Weight of child, W = 230 N
Height of swing, h = 1.9 m
Gravitational Potential Energy is given as:
P. E. = m*g*h = W*h
m = mass
h = height above the ground
W = weight
P. E. = 230 * 1.9
P. E. = 437 J
zero.
from newton's first law of motion
