A simple pendulum swings back and forth in a circular path. Including the effects of air resistance, determine which statement is true. There may be more than one correct answer.
A. After the pendulum is released, it will never return to its original height.
B. The total linear acceleration vector always points towards the center of the circular path as the pendulum swings back and forth.
C. The work done by air resistance is always negative as the pendulum swings back and forth
D. The work done by the tension force is always zero as the pendulum swings back and forth
E. The gravitational force always produces a counterclockwise torque as the pendulum swings back and forth.
A conical pendulum consists of a weight fixed on the end of a string suspended from a privet. Instead of swing back and forth it moves in a constant speed around in a circle tracing a cone shape with the string.
a. Draw a force diagram for a conical pendulum.
b.Find a relationship between the length of the string and the time the weight would take to complete a full circle.
c. If the system was dampened discuss the energy and period of the pendulum.
1. A small block, with a mass of 1.5 kg, starts from rest at the top of the apparatus shown above. It
then slides without friction down the incline, around the loop and then onto the final level section
on the right. It then collides with a spring which momentarily brings the block to a stop. The
maximum height of the incline is 2.5 m, the radius of the loop is 0.9 m and the spring constant is 90
N/m.
a) Find the initial potential energy of the block.
b) Find the velocity of the block at the top of the loop.
c) Find the velocity of the block after it goes around the loop, on the flat section of the path.
d) How much will the block compress the spring before momentarily coming to a stop?
