Answer:
W = 0.842 J
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy
W = ΔK
In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped
W = K_f (1)
now let's use conservation of energy
starting point. Highest point A
Em₀ = U = m g h
Final point. Lowest point B
Em_f = K = ½ m v²
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
mg h = K
to find the height let's use trigonometry
at point A
cos 35 = x / L
x = L cos 35
so at the height is
h = L - L cos 35
h = L (1-cos 35)
we substitute
K = m g L (1 -cos 35)
we substitute in equation 1
W = m g L (1 -cos 35)
let's calculate
W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)
W = 0.842 J
This question is poorly stated, but I assume you mean what conditions are needed. It would have to be cold outside, correct?
C: if it senses unequal currents
