In the Swing
A rope swing is hung from a tree right at the edge of a small creek. The rope is 5.0 m long; the creek is 3.0 m wide.

A. 6.3 m/s
B. 5.4 m/s
C. 4.4 m/s
D. 3.1 m/s

- A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point?

At the neighborhood playground, your friend sits on a swing and gets pulled back by you tothe highest point that you can reach. When you let go, your friend rides the swing withoutreceiving or providing additional push. Your friend travels along an arc of 14 feet on thefirst swing (back to front). As the swing comes backwards, the length of the arc is .80 of theprevious swing. This continues: each successive arc created by swinging is .80 of theprevious swing.a. Find the length of the arc for the 5th swing (the 5th arc). Round to the thousandthsplace.b. On which swing is the length of the arc first less than 1 foot?c. Find the total distance your friend travels in all of the swings up to and including theswing in answer to letter b.arrow_forward
