A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?

This, the length of the pendulum is 1.58 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 20.6 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a maximum angle of 34.3 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it? 1.41 m/s 3.71 m/s 1.85 m/s 2.32 m/s
