A pendulum with a length of 35 cm swings back and forth as shown in the figure above, at each turn around point it stops and it starts accelerating until reaching maxium velocity at the botton (equilibrium position), at which point it starts slowing down. If the maximum angle is 48 degrees, what is its maximum velocity in m/s? (Use g = 10.0 m/s2 and assume there is no friction)

1. A pendulum with a length of 30 cm swings back and forth as shown in the figure above, at each turn around point it stops and it starts accelerating until reaching maxium velocity at the botton (equilibrium position), at which point it starts slowing down. If the maximum angle is 11 degrees, what is its maximum velocity in m/s? (Use g = 10.0 m/s2 and assume there is no friction). 2. A car (mass 955 kg) is traveling with...

Two systems are in oscillation: a simple pendulum swinging back and forth through a very small angle and a block oscillating on a spring. The block-spring system takes twice as much time as the pendulum to complete one oscillation. Which of the following changes could make the two systems oscillate with the same period? A. Increasing the mass of the pendulum bob B. Increasing the angle through which the pendulum swings by a small amount C. Decreasing the mass of...

A loudspeaker creates sound by pushing air back and forth with a paper cone that is driven by a magnetic force on a wire coil at the base of the cone. (Figure 1) shows the details. The cone is attached to a coil of wire that sits in the gap between the poles of a circular magnet. The 0.20 T magnetic field, which points radially outward from N to S, exerts a force on a current in the wire, moving...

A runaway train speeds horizontally off a 500.0-m-high cliff. Ignore air resistance for all parts. (a) How long does the train spend in the air? (b) How fast did the train leave the cliff top to land on level ground below, 900.0 m from the base of the cliff? Give your answer in miles per hour. (c) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the train 5 seconds after leaving the cliff? Give your answer with respect to the...

I swung a pendulum and calculated kinetic and potential energy, however it failed to show conservation of mechanical energy. A graph of mechanical energy showed sinusoidal curves. What could explain this? It seems as though it is not only friction or air resistance, as it is not a negative slope. Please help!
