A bowling ball is attached to a 2.91-meter long cable and hung from the ceiling. The cable is kept taut and the ball is raised to an initial height of 1.73 meters above the classroom floor. It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.17 meters above the floor.

A pendulum bob is released from some initial height such that the speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing is 1.3 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . What is the initial height of the bob? Answer in units of m.
A pendulum consists of a small object hanging from the ceiling at the end of a string of negligible mass. The string has a length of 0.73 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward in a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle ? with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle ?.
A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string and has a length of 1.56 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest.

A pendulum consists of a small object hanging from the ceiling at the end of a string of negligible mass. The string has a length of 0.77 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 1.9 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward in a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle θ with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle θ.

A block of mass m = 11.54 kg on a rough horizontal surface is attached to a light spring with spring/force constant k = 2.17 kN/m with the other end fixed. The block is pulled xi = 7.66 cm to the right from the equilibrium point and released from the rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough horizontal surface is μk = 0.2. When the block passes through the equilibrium point, what is the velocity of the block vf in m/s? Keep three significant figures for the answer. g = 9.80 m/s2.
A mass m = 6.6 kg hangs on the end of a massless rope L = 2.04 m long. The pendulum is held horizontal and released from rest. Now a peg is placed 4/5 of the way down the pendulum’s path so that when the mass falls to its vertical position it hits and wraps around the peg. As it wraps around the peg and attains its maximum height it ends a distance of 3/5 L below its starting point (or 2/5 L from its lowest point). 1. How fast is the mass moving at the top of its new path (directly above the peg)? m/s 2) Using the original mass of m = 6.6 kg, what is the magnitude of the tension in the string at the top of the new path (directly above the peg)? N
The horizontal surface on which a block slides is frictionless. The speed of the block is 6.0 m / s when it touches the end of a constant spring k = 2.0 kN / m. How fast does the block move when the 15 cm spring is compressed? a) 3.7 m / s b) 4.4 m / s c) 4.9 m / s d) 5.4 m / s e) 14 m / s
An object with mass 0.60 kg is suspended from the ceiling at the end of a 2.0 m long string. When the mass is pulled to the side (at an unknown angle) and released, you measure the speed to be 4.0 m/s at the lowest point of its path. What maximum angle does the string make with the vertical as the object swings up? Note: air resistance can be ignored. Options 69 degrees 77 degrees 47 degrees 61 degrees 54 degrees 50 degrees
A 0.25 kg mass is held against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 2,658 N/m. The mass is initially at rest upon a horizontal surface and the spring force is directed parallel to the plane of the surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.632, with what speed does the mass leave contact with the spring if the spring is initially compressed by 0.066 m?
