Answer:

16.64 km/h

Explanation:

Think of the x and y components as the a and b sides of a triangle and simply do the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

14^2+9^2=c^2

\sqrt{196+81}=c

\sqrt{277}=c

16.64 km/h

A pendulum at position A is released and swings through position B to position Con the other side.
zaharov [31]

Explanation:

Given the conditions A,B and C when the pendulum is released, at point A the initial velocity of the pendulum is zero(0), the potential energy stored is maximum(P.E= max),

the conditions can be summarized bellow

point A

initial velocity= 0

final velocity=0

P.E= Max

K.E= 0

point B

initial velocity= maximum

final velocity=maximum

P.E=K.E

point C

initial velocity= min

final velocity=min

P.E= 0

K.E= max
