A simple pendulum while oscillating rises to a maximum vertical height of 7 cm from its rest position where it reaches its extreme position on one side. The mass of the bob of simple pendulum is 400 g and g = 10 m/s2. The total energy of the simple pendulum at any instant while oscillating is:
- 0.28 J
- 2.8 J
- 28 J
- 28000 J
Assertion (A): When a hammer is made to fall on a nail fixed upright on a wooden piece, the nail begins to penetrate the wood.
Reason (R): As the hammer starts falling, its kinetic energy begins to change into potential energy.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
