An object executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude a. (use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) (a) at what values of its position does its speed equal half its maximum speed? x = ± (b) at what values of its position does its potential energy equal half the total energy?

If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s2 or travel faster than 14.8 m/s , what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? ?

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.

How does the motion of an airplane compare to the motion of a rocket ?
