3. The ballistic pendulum used to be a common tool for the determination of the muzzle velocity of bullets as a measure of the performance of firearms and ammunition (nowadays, the ballistic pendulum has been replaced by the ballistic chronograph, an electronic device). The ballistic pendulum is a simple pendulum that allows one to record the maximum swing angle of the pendulum arm caused by the firing of a bullet into the pendulum bob. Let L = 1.6 m and ma = 5.5 kg. For a certain historical pistol, which fired a roundball of mass mg = 91 g, it is found that the maximum swing angle of the pendulum is O = 52'.

Review. A light spring has unstressed length 15.5 cm. It is described by Hookes law with spring constant 4.30 N/m.

A clock is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its simple pendulum has a period of 1.000 s at locations where g = 9.800 m/s2.

A horizontal spring attached to a wall has a force constant of 850 N/m. A block of mass 1.00 kg is attached to the spring and oscillates freely on a horizontal, frictionless surface as in Figure 5.22. The initial goal of this problem is to find the velocity at the equilibrium point after the block is released. (a) What objects constitute the system, and through what forces do they interact? (b) What are the two points of interest? (c) Find the energy stored in the spring when the mass is stretched 6.00 cm from equilibrium and again when the mass passes through equilibrium after being released from rest.

(e) What is the speed at the halfway point? Why isnt it half the speed at equilibrium?
You are working in an observatory, taking data on electromagnetic radiation from neutron stars. You happen to be analyzing results from the neutron star in Example 11.6, verifying that the period of the 10.0-km-radius neutron star is indeed 2.6 s. You go through weeks of data showing the same period. Suddenly, as you analyze the most recent data, you notice that the period has decreased to 2.3 s and remained at that level since that time. You ask your supervisor about this, who becomes excited and says that the neutron star must have undergone a glitch, which is a sudden shrinking of the radius of the star, resulting in a higher angular speed. As she runs to her computer to start writing a paper on the glitch, she calls back to you to calculate the new radius of the planet, assuming it has remained spherical. She is also talking about vortices and a superfluid core, but you dont understand those words.
3.A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string of length 2.00 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 45.3 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side and reaches a maximum angle of 56.6 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it? 2.45 m/s 4.20 m/s 3.41 m/s 6.30 m/s
