The bob (weight) at the end of a pendulum has a mass of 0.3 kilograms. the bob is pulled to position b and allowed to swing. it goes all the way to position c and swings back. the potential energy of the bob at position b joules. if the maximum height of the bob is 0.45 meters when it swings joules of energy was transformed to thermal energy. use g = 9.8 m/s2 and pe = m × g × h

Which atomic model was proposed as a result of j. j. thomson’s work?

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
