1. Initial Energy States:
– Potential Energy: When the pendulum bob is drawn to one side, it gains potential energy due to its height above the equilibrium position.
– Kinetic Energy: Initially, the pendulum bob is at rest, so it possesses zero kinetic energy.
2. Conversion of Potential to Kinetic Energy:
– As the pendulum swings downward, potential energy converts into kinetic energy. At the lowest point of the swing, all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
– The pendulum reaches its maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing, moving at its maximum speed.
3. Oscillation and Energy Transformation:
– The pendulum continues to oscillate, with energy continuously transforming between potential and kinetic forms as it swings back and forth.
4. Energy Dissipation:
– Factors like air resistance, friction at the pivot, and internal friction cause the pendulum to lose energy gradually.
– The lost energy transforms into less usable forms such as heat and sound, dissipating into the surroundings.
5. Decrease in Amplitude:
– As energy dissipates, the pendulum’s amplitude (maximum swing angle) decreases gradually with each swing.
– Eventually, due to energy losses, the pendulum comes to rest at its equilibrium position.
6. Conservation of Total Energy:
– While the pendulum eventually stops moving, the total energy of the system (including the pendulum and its surroundings) remains constant.
– Energy is not lost but rather transformed into less available forms, conforming to the law of conservation of energy.
7. Energy Transformation Summary:
– Initial potential energy is converted to kinetic energy during the swing.
– Energy dissipates due to various factors, leading to a decrease in motion until the pendulum eventually comes to rest.
– The total energy within the system and surroundings remains conserved, even though it becomes less available for useful work due to dissipation.

To bring an object of mass (m) and constant velocity (v) to rest, we need to reduce its kinetic energy to zero.
The work (W) done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy (KE) of an object moving with velocity (v) is given by:
KE = 1/2 mv²
When the object is brought to rest, its final kinetic energy (KE_final) will be zero.
The initial kinetic energy (KE_initial) of the object moving with velocity (v) is 1/2 mv²).
Therefore, the work done to bring the object to rest is:
W = KE_final – KE_initial = 0 – 1/2} m v² = – 1/2 m v²
Hence, to bring an object of mass (m) moving with constant velocity (v) to rest, a total amount of work equal to ( -1/2 m v²) needs to be done on the object. The negative sign indicates that work is done against the object’s motion to reduce its kinetic energy to zero.

Given:
– Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg
– Initial velocity of the car, v = 60 km/h
1. Convert Velocity to Meters per Second:
– Velocity in meters per second = (Velocity in km/h x 1000)/(3600)
– 60 km/h = (60 x 1000)/(3600} = 16.67 m/s
2. Calculate Initial Kinetic Energy:
– The kinetic energy (KE) of the car is given by KE = 1/2 m v² .
– Substitute the values:
KE = 1/2 x 1500 kg x (16.67 m/s²)
– KE = 208,333.33 J
3. Determine Work Required:
– The work (W) needed to stop the car is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
– W = Initial Kinetic Energy – Final Kinetic Energy)
– As the final kinetic energy is zero (when the car is brought to rest), ( W = 208,333.33 J – 0J = 208,333.33 J
Therefore, the work required to stop the car of 1500 kg moving at a velocity of 60 km/h is (208,333.33 J). This amount of work needs to be done to reduce the car’s kinetic energy to zero, bringing it to a complete stop.

1. Newton’s Second Law:
– Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma).
2. Forces in Equilibrium:
– When multiple forces act on an object simultaneously, their combined effect determines the object’s acceleration.
– If the forces are balanced or cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of zero, the object is in a state of equilibrium.
3. Zero Net Force, Zero Acceleration:
– In a state of equilibrium where the net force is zero, according to Newton’s Second Law, the acceleration of the object will be zero, regardless of the number of forces acting on it.
– Balanced forces prevent any change in the object’s motion, maintaining either rest or constant velocity (zero acceleration).
4. Examples of Equilibrium:
– An object at rest on a surface experiences forces like gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from the surface pushing upward. If these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, the object remains stationary with zero acceleration.
– Similarly, an object moving at a constant velocity experiences balanced forces, resulting in zero net force and zero acceleration despite multiple forces acting on it.
5. Conclusion:
– Zero acceleration is possible when the forces acting on an object are in equilibrium, canceling each other out and resulting in a net force of zero according to Newton’s Second Law.
Therefore, I concur with Soni that an object can have zero acceleration even when several forces are acting on it if these forces are balanced and create a state of equilibrium where the net force on the object is zero. This state prevents any change in the object’s motion, leading to zero acceleration.

Given that each device has a power of 500 W and the time duration is 10 hours, let’s calculate the total energy consumed by all four devices:
Total power of four devices = 4 x 500 W = 2000 W

Therefore, the total energy consumed by the four devices in 10 hours is 20 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
