Define and describe the following:

1. Conservation of Mechanical Energy
- states that the mechanical energy of an isolated system remains
constant without friction.
2. Simple Pendulum
- A frequency simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be
a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass. It is
a resonant system with a single resonant.
3. Law of Conservation of Energy
- In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total
energy of an isolated system remains constantit is said to be
conserved over time.
4. Theory of Relativity
- The first is the Special Theory of Relativity, which essentially deals
with the question of whether rest and motion are relative or
absolute, and with the consequences of Einsteins conjecture that
they are relative.
- The second is the General Theory of Relativity, which primarily
applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to
gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newtons theory,
predicting important new results for fast-moving and/or very
massive bodies.
5. Actual mechanical advantage
- Actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy loss due to
deflection, friction, and wear.
Illustrate and describe the following:
A. A simple pendulum and the position of the greatest and smallest
kinetic energy of the pendulum

III.

Determine the following:

1. How to locate the position of the greatest and smallest kinetic energy
of the pendulum
- At its highest point (Point A) the pendulum is momentarily
motionless. All of the energy in the pendulum is gravitational
potential energy and there is no kinetic energy. At the lowest point
(Point D) the pendulum has its greatest speed. All of the energy in
the pendulum is kinetic energy and there is no gravitational
potential energy.
2. How to locate the position of the greatest and smallest potential
energy of the pendulum
- When = 90 the pendulum is at its highest point. The COS 90 =
0, and h = L(1-0) = L, and PE = mgL(1 COS ) = mgL
-

When the pendulum is at its lowest point, = 0 COS 0 = 1 and h

= L (1-1) = 0, and PE = mgL(1 1) = 0

At all points in-between the potential energy can be described using

PE = mgL(1 COS )

Define and describe the following:

1. Momentum
- Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have
mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its
mass in motion.
2. Linear Momentum
- Linear momentum is a vector quantity defined as the product of an
objects mass, m, and its velocity, v.
3. Impulse
- The impulse is the integral of the resultant force (F) with respect to
time
4. Collision
- A collision is an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on
each other for a relatively short time.
Illustrate and describe the following:
A. Cart after collision

B. Momentum of a body that moves on a straight line

III.

Provide the equations necessary to determine the following:

1. Momentum
Momentum = mass x velocity
2. Impulse
F t = m v
3. Perfectly elastic collision
