Two physical pendulums (not simple pendulums) are made from meter sticks that are suspended from the ceiling at one end. the sticks are uniform and are identical in all respects, except that one is made of wood (mass=0.36 kg) and the other of metal (mass=0.83 kg) they are set into oscillation and execute simple harmonic motion. determine the period of (a) the wood pendulum and (b) the metal pendulum

Aplane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of of 500mih passes directly over a radar station. find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2mi away from the station.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
