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. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.73 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? 38.3 degrees 31.9 degrees 25.5 degrees 20.4 degrees

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
Three masses m1 = 3.5 kg, m2 = 10.5 kg and m3 = 7 kg hang from three identical springs in a motionless elevator. The springs all have the same spring constant of 228.9 N/m. the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.7 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.4 m/s^2. Find the distance of the upper spring extended from its unstretched length and the force the bottom spring exerts on the bottom mass.

a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at constant speed. (The cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates.) The bob has a mass of 0.040 kg, the string has length L =0.90 m and negligible mass, and the bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m.What are (a) the tension in the string and (b) the period of the motion?
A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.
