Two small metallic spheres, each of mass m = 0.218 g, are suspended as pendulums by light strings of length L as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge of 7.6 nC, and they come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of e = 5.35° with the vertical. How long are the strings? L m

You have a metal spring of negligible mass that has spring constant k. The spring is supporting an object of mass m which is oscillating up and down with an angular frequency of w. What happens when a large steady current passes through the spring? O The oscillations gradually slow down until they come to a complete stop O The mass continues to oscillate with a reduced oscillation period O The mass continues to oscillate with an increased oscillation period O The mass continues to oscillate with the same oscillation period
The figure shows the pendulum of a clock in your grandmother's house. The uniform rod of length L = 2.00 m has a mass m = 0.880 kg. Attached to the rod is a uniform disk of mass M = 1.40 kg and radius 0.150 m. The clock is constructed to keep perfect time if the period of the pendulum is exactly 2.50 s. L What should the distance d be so that the period of this pendulum is 2.40 s? Ad = m M 0.150 m Tipler & Mosca, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6e 2008 W.H. Freeman and Company Suppose that the pendulum clock loses 5.00 min/day.

If you shake a magnetic compass e and then set it down, you can watch the needle bounce back and forth around its equilibrium position. If this motion is unimpeded by friction, it is an example of simple harmonic motion 2. You may learn more about simple harmonic motion in Phys 1230, but we'll be seeing another example soon in Unit 8. In this case, energy is being transferred continually between magnetic potential energy and kinetic energy, and the energy is conserved if there is no friction. When there is no kinetic energy, the needle is the maximally deflected and its magnetic potential energy is maximum; when the magnetic potential energy is minimum, the needle is moving the fastest. Conservation of energy shows that KE (0) +U (0) = Umax (functions of angle, not multiplication). For your compass, the measured angle between maximum deflection and equilibrium is 58°. What percent of the maximum kinetic energy does the needle have when it is only deflected 29° from equilibrium? Give…
Same situation as in the previous two problems this time the magnet s mass is 3.71 kg and the magnetic force pulling it to the right is 155.2 N. The length of the cord is 1.58 m, and the ceiling is 3.41 m above the floor. Suppose that you cut the cord and the magnet falls to the floor while still being pulled to the right by the force of 155.2 N. How long will it take the magnet to hit the floor?
