I am mostly just wondering about finding the velocity B. I know how to find tension after that.
I got Vb= 4.214 m/s for the veloctity but I am not sure if I did it right.
Hight initial is 0.702 m
This was what I did
(1/2)(5)(2^2)+(5)(9.8)(.702)=(1/2)(5)(Vf^2)
![**Lab 5: Energy Method**
**Part A:**
A diagram displays a pendulum-like setup with the following details:
- A mass \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \) is attached to a cord of length \( 3 \, \text{m} \).
- The mass is initially positioned at an angle of \( 40^\circ \) from the vertical.
- At the initial position, the mass has a velocity \( v_a = 2.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
- The height at the initial position is \( h_i \), determined by the angle and length of the pendulum.
- The final height \( h_f \) at the bottom-most point of the swing is \( 0 \, \text{m} \).
**Theoretical Tasks:**
1. **Use the energy method to find \( v_b \):**
Calculate the velocity of the mass at the lowest point using energy conservation principles.
2. **Calculate Tension \( T \) at the bottom-most point:**
Determine the tension in the cord when the mass reaches the bottom of its swing.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F139c7fa3-9a94-4eaa-a659-e2cac8a5742a%2F8fa242ee-b9a9-49b7-a407-afac793f0ab4%2Fgnhrl4k_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
