What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you let a pendulum go on swinging?
Obviously, it will stop after sometime , after swinging. It is because we cannot apply energy continuously to the swinging pendulum.
When is the potential energy of a pendulum at its greatest?
The highest point of the pendulums swing is when the potential energy is at its highest and the kinetic energy is at its lowest. Kinetic energy is at its highest when at the lowest point of its swing, or equilibrium position, this is when the potential energy is at zero.
What is the kinetic energy of a pendulum that has 0 potential energy at the bottom of the swing?
I'm not sure if this helps in any way, but i do know that with a pendulum, the height it goes on one side is the exact height it goes on the other so if you held it up say 30cm on one side and let it swing it would reach 30cm on the other!!!! i thought that was pretty cool anyways- sorry i couldn't help further xxx :)
What factors affect the swing of a pendulum?
Air resistance, Gravity, Friction, The attachment of the pendulum to the support bar, Length of String, Initial Energy (if you just let it go it will go slower than if you swing it) and the Latitude. Amplitude only affects large swings (in small swing the amplitude is doesn't affect the swing time). Mass of the pendulum does not affect the swing time. A formula for predicting the swing of a pendulum: T=2(pi)SQRT(L/g) T = time pi = 3.14... SQRT = square root L = Length g = gravity
Explain the energy conversions that occur as a pendulum swings and how does this demonstrate conservation of energy?
As a pendulum swings, energy is converted between potential energy (at its highest points) and kinetic energy (at its lowest points). At the highest point, the pendulum possesses maximum potential energy due to its height above the ground. As it swings down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, reaching its maximum speed at the lowest point. The energy conversions during the swinging of a pendulum demonstrate the principle of conservation of energy, where the total mechanical energy (the sum of potential and kinetic energy) remains constant throughout the motion, disregarding any energy losses due to friction.
A pendulum has a gravitational potential energy of 224 J when it is at its highest point At the lowest point in its swing it has a velocity of 4 ms What is the mass of the pendulum?
This is a simple little problem once you get your mind to it. Let the mass be M kg and the max height of the swing be H meters (that is the height of the mass above its lowest point, not the length of the swing). Max velocity = 4 m/s, so max kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 x M x 42 = 8M We are assuming the potential energy (PE) at max height = kinetic energy at lowest point, ie no losses due to friction. Max PE = M x G x H where G = the gravitational constant. So we have PE = KE = M x G x H = 8 x M, M cancels out and H = 8/G. Then substituting back for H, max PE = 224 = M x G x 8/G, G cancels out and M = 224/8 = 28 kg.
What factors affects the pendulum?
There are a number of things that affect the pendulum and how it operates. Let's just start setting them down. The mass of the pendulum and its string, cable, rod, or whatever it is that it is suspended from. The length of the suspension cable or rod. The nature of the pivot point from which the suspension is tied, or, more specifically, the friction generated by the pivot. The air resistance to the pendulum and its suspension. The latitude at which it is operated (because a small amount of torque will be applied at anything more than 0o). The nature and loss of the driving mechanism for the continued movement of the pendulum. The temperature of the surrounds of the pendulum and its mechanism.
What do you mean by time period of pendulum?
You know how when you pull a pendulum to the side and let it go, and then it swings away from you to the other side, but then it stops and turns around and swings back to you ? The period of the pendulum is the length of time it takes, after you let it go, to go away from you and then come back to your hand.
What is the name of the force that makes a pendulum move when you let go?
Gravity
How can I effectively use a crystal pendulum for divination and guidance?
To effectively use a crystal pendulum for divination and guidance, start by holding the pendulum in your dominant hand and asking clear yes or no questions. Focus on your intention and let the pendulum swing freely to indicate the answer. Practice regularly to strengthen your connection with the pendulum and trust your intuition.
What is the principle of the conservation of mass?
It is where if nothing is let in or let out of a substance the mass will not change. For example, if you had a bottle with a substance in it and nothing passed in or out of that bottle, the mass would be the same no matter if a chemical reaction occurred inside the bottle. This makes sense, since mass is made up of atoms, and if the amount of atoms is the same then the mass won't change.
How are energy and mass conserved by living systems?
Not quite sure what you mean; let's just say that living systems don't require any extraordinary efforts to conserve energy and mass, because that's what they do naturally, i.e., "be conserved". There is no known way to violate conservation of energy or mass.
