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 a speed of 48 mi/h. A bug (mass 5 mg) is traveling in the opposite direction. What speed would the bug need in (millions of mi/h) in order to slow down the truck by 4 mile per hour in a big bug splash (i.e., final speed 44 mi/h)?

Consider a simple plane pendulum of mass m and length l (the mass swings in a vertical plane). After the pendulum is set into motion, the length of the string is decreased at a constant rate, ??/?? = −? = ?????. The suspension point remains fixed. (a) Compute the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian for the system. [4] (b) Compare the Hamiltonian and the total energy- is the energy conserved? Why/Why not? [2]

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...

3. An ambulance travels back and forth at a constant speed along a road of length L. At a certain moment of time, an accident occurs at a point uniformly distributed on the road. [That is, the distance of the point from one of the fixed ends of the road is uniformly distributed over (0, L).] Assuming that the ambulance’s location at the moment of the accident is also uniformly distributed, and assuming independence of the variables, compute (a) The...
