A simple pendulum is constructed from a negligible mass that does not stretch and a bob of mass 0.87kg that is essentially a point mass. The length of the string is 1.43m. The pendulum is started by being released from rest with an angle(with respect to the vertical) of 6.98 degrees. Use g=9.81
what is the maximum speed in m/s
the answer is 0.32m/s. how do I get this?

capacite 1: 7.3x10^-3 charge unit transfer
capacite 2: 0. 1 C/v
That means equating the two capacitances gives the
conversion factor for converting between these two different units
of capacitance. Follow this course to determine the number of
Coulombs in one chargetransfer-unit. Show your work.
Now calculate how many fundamental units of charge transfer each
time you add charges to the capacitor. Show your work.
If we assume it is electrons being transferred, does this number
represent the number of electrons being transferred to the
capacitor or removed from the capacitor? Explain.
I need help with these questions. please and thank
you

Write an extended paragraph of about 200 words on the future of
space travel that describes:
• New technology in space travel
• Future space missions
• Countries / organizations that are involved in space
missions.
The explanation:
When writing this question it is very important to explain the new
technology that the scientists developed and how it will be used to
benefit the astronauts in their missions. After that, you should
mention some of the future space missions. Then, you need to list
the name of the countries and organizations that are involved in
the space missions.

1. A 1 kilogram mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 4 N/m. Write the equation of motion if the spring is stretched 25 cm below the equilibrium position and released.
a) Suppose the system experiences a constant forcing function downwards of 4 N. (Note that one would need to divide by the mass, but the mass is 1 kg so we don’t see a difference here.) Solve the non-homogeneous equation. (Keep everything else about the initial value problem the same.) How does the forcing function change the solution/motion?
b) Suppose the forcing function is the periodic function ?(?) = 4 cos ?. Solve that nonhomogeneous equation. What is the period and amplitude of the motion in this system?
c) Suppose the forcing function is the periodic function ?(?) = 4 cos 2?. Solve this nonhomogeneous equation. How does the period and amplitude of the motion change? How would you describe the motion?
