A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest gives the values as,

a) The distance where the mass fall (y-displacement) before reaching its lowest point is 21.1 meter away.(b) Work is done by gravity as it falls to its lowest point is 0.347 joules(c) Work is done by the string tension as it falls to its lowest point is 0.What is work done of pendulum?

Work done of a pendulum is always against the gravitational force. The pendulum losses the kinetic energy and gains the potential energy.

Given information-

The length of the pendulum is 36.1 cm.

The mass of the pendulum is 168 grams.

The angle made by the cord is 65.4 degrees.

(a) The distance where the mass fall (y-displacement) before reaching its lowest point-

The distance where the mass fall (y-displacement) before reaching its lowest point is the difference of the length of the pendulum along the horizontal direction and the length of the pendulum. Thus,

$d=36.1\cos(65.4)-36.1\\d=-21.1\rm cm$

Thus the distance where the mass fall (y-displacement) before reaching its lowest point is 21.1 meter away.

(b) Work is done by gravity as it falls to its lowest point-

Work done by gravity to fall the mass at 21.1 meter away is,

$W=0.168\times9.8\times0.211\\W=0.347\rm J$

Thus the work is done by gravity as it falls to its lowest point is 0.347 joules.

Work is done by the string tension as it falls to its lowest point is,

$W=0.168\times0.211\times\cos(90)\\W=0$

Thus, the work is done by the string tension as it falls to its lowest point is 0.

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.

Honestly "global warming" may be a slight possiblity, however they called it "climate change" because its not real, in fact we had one of our coldest days here not too long ago, and the "issues" with this subject is a blindfold for actual problems.

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.0 multiply. gif 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. the repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. one cell carries −2.50 pc of charge and the other −3.10 pc, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 7.5 μm in diameter. (a) what speed would they need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch? assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. answer is: 321 m/s how do i find this (b) what is the maximum acceleration of the cells in part (a)? answer is: 1.38e+10 m/s2 how did they find this answer
