A simple pendulum of length LL is set to oscillate in simple harmonic motion. The bob gravitational potential energy is zero at its lowest vertical point. When the bob’s height is at half its maximum, h = hmax/2, then its velocity is: (a) vv = rdical(ghmax/2) (b)vv = rdical(ghmax (c) vv = rdical(2ghmax (d)vv = 2rdical(ghmax

A pendulum consists of a mass m = 0.2 kg on the end of a string of length L = 0.3 m. At the moment the mass at its lowest point, it is observed that the speed of the mass is v = 2.2 m/s. What can we say about the work Ws done by the string?
Prove that when the average is taken with respect to position over one cycle, the average potential energy equals kA^2/6 and the average kinetic energy equals kA^2/3.
Consider an object of mass 0.150kg that is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant 35.2 N/m is kept on the frictionless level air track and stretched to the length of 6.50 cm.An outward initial velocity of 2.20 m/s is given to the object,so that determine the displacement of the spring between 6.50 cm and the extreme position
The Question is as follows, "A particle with a mass of .7 kg is attached to a horizonal spring with a force constant of 40 N/m. At the moment t=0, the particle has its maximum speed of 30 m/s and is moving to the left, (assume right is positive direction). A) Determine the particles equation of motion, specifying its position as a function of time (X in meters and T is seconds, give angles in radians) B) where in the motion is the potential energy three times the kinetic energy? C) Find the length of a simple pendulum with the same period." Thanks for the help! If possible could you write out the formulas when you use em? Thanks
A simple pendulum, consisting of a mass of 2.0 kg, is attached to the end of string with unknown length. The mass is held out horizontally, and then released from rest. What must be the length of the string (m) if the speed of the mass at the bottom of the swing is 3.3 m/s?
A body of mass m is suspended by a rod of length L that pivots without friction (as shown). The mass is slowly lifted along a circular arc to a height h. a. Assuming the only force acting on the mass is the gravitational force, show that the component of this force acting along the arc of motion is F = mg sin u. b. Noting that an element of length along the path of the pendulum is ds = L du, evaluate an integral in u to show that the work done in lifting the mass to a height h is mgh.
A pendulum of mass 50 gm and length 90 cm is left to swing from an intial angle of 30 degrees, and seen to raise up to an angle of 28 degrees when it reaches the otherside. How much will it be in the difference in height? How much energy is lost?
A 0.35 kg mass is held against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 89 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 0.86, with what speed does the mass leave contact with the spring if the spring is initially compressed by 0.232 m?

A block of mass m = 2.8 kg is dropped (starting from rest) from a height h = 0.81 meters above the top of an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 226 newtons per meter. The spring is originally at its equilibrium length (and the mass of the spring is negligible). The block falls on the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d from its equilibrium length before the spring sends it flying back up into the air. Ignore friction and other non-conservative forces, and let g = 9.8 meters per second squared. What is the maximum compression d of the spring (in units of meters)?
A slingshot, consisting of a leather pouch attached to two rubber bands which are tied to the prongs of a wooden Y- shaped frame, is used to shoot a pebble horizontally. When the slingshot is stretched by a distance d, it gives the pebble speed v. What speed does it give the same pebble when it is stretched to distance 3d?
A small sphere is attached to one end of a string of length 1.67 mm. The other end of the string is attached to the ceiling, and, with the string taut, the sphere is initially positioned so that the string attached to it makes an angle of 28.1º with the vertical. If the sphere is then let go (from rest) and allowed to swing on the string like a pendulum, what is the speed of the sphere at the instant it passes through the lowest point in its motion? (Neglect air resistance.)
