A thin rod of mass M and length l hangs from a pivot at its upper end. A ball of clay of mass m and of horizontal velocity v strikes the lower end at right angles andremains stuck (total inelastic collision). Required:
How high will the rod swing after this collision?

 P = 2923.89 W

Explanation:

Power is

     P = F v

so This exercise will solve them in parts using the conservation of momentum and then using the conservation of energy

To use the conservation of the momentum we must define a system, formed by the bodies, so that the forces during the collision have internal forces and the moment is conserved

initial instant, before the crash

        p₀ = m v

final instant. Right after the crash

        = (M + m) v₂

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v = (M + m) v₂

       v₂ = m / (m + M) v

this is the speed with which two come out, now we can apply the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two bodies together

Starting point. Lower

        Em = K = ½ (M + m) v²

Final point. Highest point

        Em = U = (M + m) g h

        Eo₀ =

         ½ (M + m) v2 = (M + m) g h

          h = 1/2 v2 / g

          h = ½ [m / (m + M) v] 2 / g

          h = 1/2 (m / m + M) 2 / g we must calculate the force, let's use Newton's second law, let's set a coordinate system with a parallel axis flat and the other axis (y) perpendicular to the plane

X Axis

         Fe - Wₓ = 0

         F = Wₓ

Y Axis

         N - = 0

let's use trigonometry for the components of the weight

         sin 6 = Wₓ / W

         cos 6 = / W

         Wx = W sin 6

         W_{y}= W cos 6

          F = mg cos 6

          F = 75 9.8 cos 6

          F = 730.97 N

let's calculate the power

        P = F v

        P = 730.97 4.0

        P = 2923.89 W

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

i'm on my way to history not a mistory.
