Consider the diagram of a pendulum's motion shown above. A pendulum can be used to model the change from potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy. If you pull the bob back to point A and release it, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. What do you think happens to the energy at point C?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Ameter stick is pivoted at the 0.50-m line. a 3.0-kg object is hung from the 0.15-m line. where should a 5.0-kg object be hung to achieve equilibrium (the meter stick oriented horizontal and motionless)?
