A fighter jet is launched from an aircraft carrier with the aid of its own engines and a steam-powered catapult. The thrust of its engines is 1.12×105 N. In being launched from rest it moves through a distance of 54.0 m and has a kinetic energy of 6.01×107 J at lift-off. What is the work done on the jet by the catapult? Number Units

A pendulum, comprised of a light string of length L and a small sphere (its radius is much smaller than L or d ), swings in the vertical plane. The pendulum is released from rest at the horizontal position (θ = 90∘). During the swing, the string bends around a peg located a distance d below the point of suspension, and the pendulum swings a full circle around the peg. We choose d to be the smallest distance that allows this to happen. a) At this value of d, what is the kinetic energy of the pendulum at the top of the circular swing? b) What is d in terms of L ? c) Discuss how the results for (a) and (b) would change if the pendulum moves against air resistance throughout its path. No calculations are required but you should answer in terms of work and energy.
