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?

Object m2 is resting on the floor, and object m1 is 4.00 m above the floor when it is released from rest. The pulley axis is frictionless. The cord is light, does not stretch, and does not slip on the pulley. (a) Calculate the time interval required for m1 to hit the floor.

This problem extends the reasoning of Problem 41 in Chapter 9. Two gliders are set in motion on an air track. Glider 1 has mass m1 = 0.240 kg and moves to the right with speed 0.740 m/s. It will have a rear-end collision with glider 2, of mass m2 = 0.360 kg, which initially moves to the right with speed 0.120 m/s. A light spring of force constant 45.0 N/m is attached to the back end of glider 2 as shown in Figure P9.41. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. (a) Find the common speed the two gliders have when the spring is at maximum compression. (b) Find the maximum spring compression distance. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of a combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass. (c) Find the energy of the center-of-mass motion. (d) Find the energy of the oscillation.arrow_forward
