The mass of the pendulum is 100 g and the length 1 m. If it is hanging on the ceiling of a room, it is made to oscillate. What, if anything, is the mechanical energy of the pendulum conserved? Make the argument grounded in physics.arrow_forwardOne end of a string is secured to the ceiling of a classroom, and the other end of the string is attached to a sphere of mass 0.20 kg so that a pendulum is established. The sphere is raised at an angle of 15° above the sphere’s equilibrium position and then released from rest so that the pendulum oscillates, as shown in the figure. Location 1 is shown in the figure. A graph of the pendulum’s horizontal position as a function of time is shown in the graph (the graph is in the attached image). a. Calculate the value of the maximum kinetic energy of the sphere as it oscillates The sphere is raised to a new angle above the sphere’s equilibrium position that is less than the angle described for part (a). The sphere is released from rest so that the pendulum oscillates. b. Explain how the motion of the sphere changes, if at all, based on the appropriate evidence and/or reasoning.arrow_forward
- Your grandfather clock's pendulum has a length of 0.9930 m. a. If the clock runs slow and loses 23 s per day, how should you adjust the length of the pendulum? Note: due to the precise nature of this problem you must treat the constant g as unknown (that is, do not assume it is equal to exactly 9.80 m/s2). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value in case of increasing length of the pendulum and negative value in case of decreasing length of the pendulum.arrow_forwardA mass m = 3.3 kg is at the end of a horizontal spring on a frictionless horizontal surface.
