Use the principle of conservation of energy to find the speed with which the object hits the floor?

Cedric asked:


An object with a weight of 50.0 N is attached to the free end of a light string wrapped around a reel of radius 0.250 m and mass 3.00 kg. The reel is a solid disk, free to rotate in a vertical plane about the horizontal axis passing through its center. The suspended object is released 6.00 m above the floor.

tn asked:


Two people with a combined mass of 144 kg hop into an old car with worn out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress by 9.20 cm. When the car hits a bump in the road it oscillates up and down with a period of 1.57 s.
(a) Find the total load supported by the springs.
kg
(b) Find the mass of the car.
kg

Is this an unexplored solution to energy conservation?

15fsg546rge1rrheljh45hjr90459ty3 asked:


Rather than pour all our money into energy exploration, new energy sources, technology, etc.; is it cheaper to make us all able to see in the dark? We have night vision technology, and medical and genetic technology has increased substantially over the past few years. Has anyone done any experimentation with lab rats to see if they can be altered to be able to see in the dark? Would this be cost effective if, rather than light the planet, we could get everyone to see in the dark. Yes, this sounds ridiculous, but the goals required to achieve energy conservation, and reduce greenhouse gases are pretty much in the air still. Is this probable?

Does nuclear fusion break the law of conservation of energy?

A_2__the__E__Adrenaline asked:


The law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but aren’t you creating energy if you get back more energy than you put into it? Just a thought
