A child of mass m is sitting at rest on a swing of length L. Their parent pulls them back making an angle of θ with the vertical as shown in the diagram. The parent uses a force that is perfectly horizontal. a) Find an expression for the force required to pull the child back as a function of the angle made by the swing. θ, m, L, and any fundamental can be in your answer. b) (Calculus version) i. Set up but do not solve an integral that could be used to calculate the work done on the child. ii. Now execute the integral showing that the work done will equal the resulting increase in potential energy. c) (Non calculus version) i. Find an expression for the height of the child above their lowest position as a function of θ and L. ii. Find an expression for the potential energy of the child in terms of m, θ, L, and any fundamental constants. d) The child is released and swings down to the lowest position. i. What is the tension in the cable the instant they are released? (Hint: their velocity the instant they are released is zero, but the net force is unbalanced. ) ii. What is the acceleration of the child the instant the parent releases them? iii. What is the speed of the child at the bottom of their swing? iv. What is the tension in the cable at the bottom of their swing?

Potential energy is given by PE = mgh Kinetic energy is given by KE = mv2 2 Figure 7: Trade in joules between potential and kinetic energy Consider the situation in figure 7, the total mechanical energy is 6 J. There is no loss or gain of mechanical energy, only a transformation from kinetic energy to potential energy (and vice versa). The ball, of mass m = 1 kg is released from rest. Answer the following questions: Question #:1 At point A:What is the potential energy of the ball? What is the height of the ball? What is the velocity of the ball at that point? -What is the kinetic energy? Question #:2 At point B, if the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy (PE = KE = 3 J)What is the height H of the ball? What is the velocity of the ball at that height? Question #:3 At point C, the potential energy is zero. What is the kinetic energy of the ball? What is the velocity of the ball at that point? How would you describe the velocity at this particular point? Explain Question #:4 At point D, the ball is at the same height as in point A, it reaches a maximum height then stops before reversing direction. What is the potential energy? What is the kinetic energy of the ball? What happened to kinetic energy at that position? Question #:5 While the pendulum is oscillating between positions, use the words increase, decrease, or constant to describe the trend of the different forms of energies. Complete table 2 Table 2: Trend of the different forms of energy of a swinging pendulum Question #:6 Using figure 7, identify the corresponding positions A, B and C in figure 8 Discuss the different energies, and speeds of the glider on those points based on your study of the pendulum.Potential energy is given by PE = mgh Kinetic energy is given by KE = mv2 2 Figure 7: Trade in joules between potential and kinetic energy Consider the situation in figure 7, the total mechanical energy is 6 J.

Several planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are encircled by rings, perhaps composed of material that failed to form a satellite. In addition, many galaxies contain ring-like structures. Consider a homogeneous thin ring of mass of M and outer radius R (see the figure). NOTE: Give your answer in terms of the variables given and G when applicable. (a) What gravitational attraction does it exert on a particle of mass m located on the ring's central axis a distance x from the ring center? F = (b) What is the potential energy of the mass m as a function of its distance x from the ring? U(x) = (c) Calculate −dU/dx, where U is the potential energy of the small mass m. (Is this answer what you expected?) −dU/dx = (d) Suppose that, starting from the distance x shown, the particle falls from rest as a result of the attraction of the ring of matter. What is the speed with which it passes through the center of the ring? v =
