What is responsible for the pendulum gradually losing mechanical energy? Ignore the mass of the string holding the pendulum bob in motion.

  1. The work done by gravity
  2. The work done by tension
  3. The work done by air resistance
  4. The pendulum does not lose mechanical energy
  5. There is not enough information to determine the cause

  2. Potential to kinetic to mechanical to electrical
  3. Potential to electrical to mechanical
  4. Potential to electrical to kinetic to mechanical
Question 87 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

  1. electric energy into chemical energy
  2. chemical energy into electric energy
  3. heat energy into electric energy
  4. electric energy into heat energy
Question 88 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The height of water in a dam reduces by $20  m$, which is used to generate electricity. The water further fell by $10  m$ into the tunnel to strike the turbine plates. If the volume of water is ${10}^{4}  {m}^{3}$, find the hydel energy generated. Assume all the potential energy of the water being converted into electricity. Take $g = 10  m{s}^{-2}$.

  1. 2000 MJ
  2. 200 MJ
  3. 1000 MJ
  4. 500 MJ
