Tall buildings are designed to sway in the wind. In a 100-km/h wind, for example, the top of the 110-story Sears Tower oscillates horizontally with an amplitude of 15 cm. The building oscillates at its natural frequency, which has a period of 7.0 s. Assuming SHM, find the maximum horizontal velocity experienced by a Sears employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor.
Find the maximum acceleration experienced by a Sears employee as she sits working at her desk located on the top floor.
Compare the maximum acceleration (as a percentage) with the acceleration due to gravity.
*Make sure to include units.

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius r. if the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? [hint: use conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a func e conservation of energy to find the puck's speed as a function of its height at what value of this normal force does the puck leave the sphere? ] here on the puck.
