What is the length of a pendulum whose period on the moon matches the period of a -long pendulum on the earth?
The solid disk and circular hoop in FIGURE have the same radius and the same mass. Each can swing back and forth as a pendulum from a pivot at the top edge. Which, if either, has the larger period of oscillation?

A block hangs from a spring with spring constant . At the block islocalid="1650020763199" below the equilibrium point and moving upward with a speed oflocalid="1650020788839" . What are the block's
a. Oscillation frequency?
b. Distance from equilibrium when the speed is ?
c. Distance from equilibrium at ?
A uniform rod of mass and length swings as a pendulum on a pivot at distance from one end of the rod. Find an expression for the frequency of small-angle oscillations.
A 200 g block attached to a horizontal spring is oscillating with an amplitude of 2.0 cm and a frequency of 2.0 Hz. Just as it passes through the equilibrium point, moving to the right, a sharp blow directed to the left exerts a 20 N force for 1.0 ms. What are the new
(a) frequency and (b) amplitude?
