Answer: 1.6×10 -19 J.
- A 1.6×10<sup>-19</sup> W
- B 1.6×10<sup>-19</sup> J
- C 9.1×10<sup>-31</sup> J
- D 3.6×10<sup>6</sup> J
Correct answer: B. 1.6×10<sup>-19</sup> J
Explanation: 1 eV is the energy gained by an electron across a 1 V potential difference: e × V = 1.6×10<sup>-19</sup> C × 1 V = 1.6×10<sup>-19</sup> J.
As a pendulum swings, total mechanical energy (KE+PE) stays constant: at the highest points A and C, all energy is potential (zero speed); at the lowest point B, all of that energy has converted into kinetic energy (maximum speed).
