A pendulum is made by attaching a sphere to the end of a string of negligible mass and it oscillates when released from an angle of 10 degrees from the vertical. In a second experiment, a sphere with a greater density is attached and released from the same angle. How do the period (T), maximum kinetic energy (Kmax),and the maximum acceleration (a max)of the second pendulum compare to the first? *

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
