Q) A pendulum with a bob of 100 g is initially displaced from its equilibrium position and released from a height of 60 cm above the equilibrium. Upon release, it undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM) without any energy losses to its surroundings. a) What is the type of energy the pendulum possesses at the point of release?
b) Calculate the amount of this type of energy at the point of release.
c) What happens to this type of energy as the bob starts moving towards its equilibrium position?
d) What is the type of energy the pendulum possesses at its equilibrium position?
e) Calculate the maximum speed of the bob of the pendulum as it swings back and forth in SHM.
f) Suppose we were to design a harmonic oscillator with a mass of 100 g to move with the same maximum speed as the pendulum. What would the stiffness of the spring need to be if we assume the harmonic oscillator to have a maximum horizontal displacement of that is half of the initial vertical displacement of the pendulum?

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?

Estimate the schwarzschild radius (in kilometers) for a mini-black hole formed when a superadvanced civilization decides to punish you (unfairly) by squeezing you until you become so small that you disappear inside your own event horizon. (assume that the your weight is 50 kg)

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
