Explain how energy is converted from potential to kinetic energy when a pendulum is swinging

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Once the weighted end of the pendulum is released, it will become active as gravity pulls it downward. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is the energy exerted by a moving object. An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.

5. Projectile A with mass m is launched at an angle of 20° above the horizontal with a speed v0. Projectile B also with mass m is launched from the same location at an angle of 70° above the horizontal, also with speed v0. Thus, both projectiles have the same initial total energy. a. Which projectile has a larger speed when it hits the ground or do they have the same speed? Explain using energy. b. Which projectile reaches a greater height? Given that both projectiles have the same initial energy, how is this possible?

What is the acceleration of a body revolving in a circle at uniform speed? The acceleration is zero. The acceleration is directed tangentially. The acceleration is directed toward the center. The acceleration is directed away from the center.

Answers

A body revolving in circle generally has tangential acceleration if the speed is changing. Since the speed is uniform here, the tangential acceleration is zero.

centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center and is given as

a = v²/r                    where a = centripetal acceleration , v = speed , r = radius

Since both speed and radius are constant here, the centripetal acceleration is constant and is always directed towards the center.

hence the correct choice is

The acceleration is directed toward the center.

Answer:  B    

The evidence helps scientists come up with explanations about

the natural world.

When making a research, scientists use the scientific method to collect enough evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis, the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

Sound waves are produced by the horn of a truckthat is approaching a stationary observer.
Compared to the sound waves detected by the
driver of the truck, the sound waves detected by
the observer have a greater
(1) wavelength (3) period
(2) frequency (4) speed

Answers

Compared to the sound waves detected by the driver of the truck, the sound waves detected by the observer have a greater "(2) frequency" and will be more high pitched. 

Answer: The correct option is (2).

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which the frequency of the wave increase or decrease when there is relative motion between the source and the listener. There is an apparent change in the frequency.

When the source and the listener are approaching each other then there will be increase in the frequency.

When the source and the listener are moving away form each other then there will be decrease in the frequency.

In the given problem, Sound waves are produced by the horn of a truck

that is approaching a stationary observer. The sound waves detected by the observer have greater frequency.

Therefore, the correct option is (2).

Which of the following is an example of a decomposition reaction?a. photosynthesis
b. digestion
c. polymerization
d. exchange of ions between two compounds

Answers

The answer is (b) digestion.
A decomposition reaction is a process in which a single compound breaks into two or multiple elements or compounds. A best example is digestion where a large insoluble food molecules breakdowns into small water-soluble molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.

b. scattering.
c. reflection.
d. absorption.

Answers

The blue color of the sky is the result of scattering. The answer is letter B. it is specifically called the Rayleigh scattering. This blue color is the result of the incoming rays of the Sun into the earth’s atmosphere. It has he lowest wavelength which as we all see is the blue spectrum of light.
