A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 120 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing like a pendulum, passing through its lowest position with angular speed 2.76 rad/s. Neglecting friction and air resistance, find (a) the rod’s kinetic energy at its lowest position and (b) how far above that position the center of mass rises.

During spring semester at mit, residents of the parallel buildings of the east campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. a balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. assume that the stretching of the hose obeys hooke's law with a spring constant of 89.0 n/m. if the hose is stretched by 5.80 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length? unitst 3 number-1497 the tolerance is +/-5% open show work click if you would like to show work for this question:

Starting with only the balmer series light (visible light), how could we ensure that the solar panels generate a current that mark can use for his power station? a)by gradually increasing the brightness (amount) of light that we shine on it. b)by gradually increasing the frequency of the light we shine on it. c)by gradually increasing the wavelength of the light that we shine on it.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
