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
