3. A simple pendulum consists of a pendulum bob of mass M at the end of a "mass-less" string of length L. The pendulum bob oscillates back and forth and is moving at speed v when the string is oriented at a constant angle 0 from vertical. Give answers in terms of L, 0, v, M and/or g. This is similar to the vertical circle from the Circular Motion Experiment worksheet except that we are not going in a full circle. a. Draw the free body diagram of forces acting on the pendulum bob. Include a coordinate system on your diagram showing your choice for the +x and +y directions. b. Write out Newton's 2nd law EF = mã for each direction. X: y: c. What is the tangential acceleration of the pendulum bob? d. Determine the tension of the string. e. What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of the pendulum bob?
2). One of the first docking attempts in space was the Gemini 8 module (m = 3187 kg) with the Agena test craft (m 8200 kg). There was an almost fatal problem during the docking but Neil Armstrong's coolness kept the crew alive e, which is why he got the nod to be in the first landing on the Moon. If the Agena craft is initially not moving and %3! the Gemini 8 module moves in at 1.23 m/s, fails to dock and bounces back at 0.5 m/s, what is the final speed of the Agena test craft?

1. You and a friend set up an umbrella and chairs at Torrey Pines State Beach. Your friend goes boogie boarding while you read a book. Half an hour later you are surprised to see that your friend has moved south, parallel to the beach. They are still boogie boarding the same distance from shore, in the surf zone. Why did your friend drift parallel to the beach? 2. The Sun is much more massive than the Moon, but the Moon has a bigger influence on Earth's tides than the Sun. Why is this? 3. Even when there is no wind at the beach, we still see waves. What is the source of these waves? Do not include tides, mass movement, or earthquakes in your answer. 4.

3. The mass of a spherical asteroid is 2.00x1022 kg and its radius is 2.00x10 meters. A space rock is 3.00x105 meters above the surface of the asteroid, and at that instant, the rock is moving directly toward the asteroid with a speed of 4.00x10³ m/s. The asteroid has no atmosphere. With what speed will the rock hit the asteroid if only the asteroid's gravity affects the rock?
