You are playing with a yoyo. You pull the yoyo with a string that is 0.240 m long to the side through an angle of 5.5O and releases it. The motion of the yoyo is like that of a simple pendulum. (a) How much time does it take the body of the yoyo to reach its maximum speed? (b) How much time does it take if the body of the yoyo is released at an angle of 2.75O instead of 5.5O?
You are playing with a jumping rope with your best friend, each of you holding both ends of the rope. You are creating transverse waves with the rope by moving your hand up and down. The transverse waves on the rope have a speed of 8.00 m/s, amplitude of 0.0700 m, and wavelength of 0.320 m. The waves travel in the negative x direction, and at t = 0 the x = 0 end of the rope has its maximum upward displacement. (a) Find the frequency, period, and wave number of these waves. (b) Write a wave function describing the wave.
A block of mass m = 7.19kg is free to move along the x-axis of a rough horizontal surface.
The mass is subject to the force of gravity, a normal force, a force of kinetic friction, and a position-dependent force.
The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.363.
The position-dependent force is given by F(x) = (22.05x – 9.34x²)î.
When the block is at ri
1.02mi it moves with velocity v₁ = 8.17.
(The input below will accept answers with no more than 1% variation from the correct value.)

Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes). Thus for Acose use A*cos theta.
