ANS: T OBJ: 9.3 Mechanical Energy ESSAY 59. ANS: The work you do when lifting something may be stored as gravitational potential energy. Then the force times the distance is equal to the weight times the height. If the lifted object is released, this energy transforms to motion energy (or kinetic energy). The kinetic energy as it returns to its starting point equals the gravitational potential energy at its highest point, which in turn equals the work done on it in the first place. OBJ: 9.6 Work-Energy Theorem 60. ANS: Net energy is never created or destroyed. It can change from one form to another form. A swinging pendulum has the most gravitational potential energy at the top of its swing. At that point it has no kinetic energy. At the bottom of its swing its potential energy is at a minimum, or zero relative to that lowermost point, and its kinetic energy is at a maximum. Halfway down, it has half kinetic and half potential energy. Everywhere along the swing the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is the same. When air resistance and friction are taken into account, energy is transferred from the pendulum to the surroundings in the form of heat. OBJ: 9.6 Work-Energy Theorem PROBLEM 62.
