Part 1) The clock in the image above has a pendulum of mass m = 1.19 kg that swings on the end of a rod that is l = 0.590 m long. The angular amplitude of the swing is α = 6.07 (which can be considered small). Assume the rod has a negligible mass. Determine the period of the pendulum in seconds. T = s Part 2) What is the maximum speed that the mass on the end of the pendulum has during its swing? v = m/s Part 3) The clock is powered by a 1.83 kg weight that falls slowly, taking one day to drop by 3.00 m. The falling weight supplies the energy to compensate for the energy lost through friction in the pendulum, ensuring the amplitude stays constant. Suppose that the weight reaches the floor and no-longer supplies energy to the clock. Estimate how long (in seconds) the pendulum will continue to swing (assuming the energy loss is constant with time). Tf = s

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.
