Question
A simple pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the support string is at an angle of 25° from the vertical. If the initial speed of the suspended mass is 1.2 m/s when at the release point, what is its speed at the bottom of the swing? (g = 9.8 m/s2)
a. 2.3 m/s
b. 2.6 m/s
c. 2.0 m/s
d. 0.5 m/s

- The string in the figure is L = 112 cm long, has a ball attached to one end, and is fixed at its other end. The distance d from the fixed end to a fixed peg at point P is 87 cm. When the initially stationary ball is released with the string horizontal as shown, it will swing along the dashed arc. What is its speed when it reaches (a) its lowest point and (b) its highest point after the string catches on the peg? Larrow_forwardA pendulum is made by letting a 3.0-kg object swing at the end of a string that has a length of 2.0 m. The maximum angle the string makes with the vertical as the pendulum swings is 30°. What is the speed of the object at the lowest point in its trajectory? Question 3 options: 1.9 m/s 2.3 m/s 2.0 m/s 2.2 m/s 2.1 m/sarrow_forwardNadia's parents have just bought her a trampoline. She can already reach a height of 1.2 m. If Nadia's mass is 50 kg, determine: a. With the conservation of energy, the speed at which it is thrown through the air to reach the height of 1.2m. b. The elasticity constant of the trampoline if it compresses like a spring, over 0.4 m after Nadia has jumped on it.arrow_forward
- A 250 g block on a 30° ramp with μk = 0.17 is pushed against a spring. The constant of the spring is 1400 N/m and the spring is compressed 13.0 cm. After being released, the block will travel 3.4 m up the ramp (that includes the 12 cm) before shooting off the end. How fast will the block be going when it shoots off the edge of the ramp?arrow_forwardA .500kg block attached to a spring with length .60m and force constant 40.0 N/m, is at rest with the back of the block at point A on a frictionless horizontal air table. The mass of the spring is negligible. You move the block to the right along the surface by pulling with a constant 20.0 N horizontal force. what's the block's speed when the black of the block reaches point B, which is 0.25 m to the right of point A.arrow_forwardA 10.0 kg block is released from point A in the figure. The track is frictionless except for the portion BC, of length 14 m. 10.0 kg 3.00 m B C k mmmmmm plz help and use g = 9.8 The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant k = 1,631 N/m, and compresses it 0.1 m from its equilibrium position as it comes to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between surface BC and the block. Express your answer to at least two digits after the decimal point.arrow_forward
