The New Haven Green, a square reserved for the public, is now a pedestrian area surrounded by stately trees, the Yale campus, and an assortment of museums and architecturally significant homes and churches. The downtown is generally clean and attractive and is known for its large number of trees.
A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant k = 450 N/m, undergoes SHM with an amplitude of 0.040 m. Compute (a) The maximum speed of the glider; (b) The speed of the glider when it is at x = -0.015 m; (c) The magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider; (d) The acceleration of the glider at x = -0.015 m; (e) The total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion.
The larger the lift-to-drag ratio is,the shallower the glide slope and the farther the glider willtravel horizontally before reaching the ground. Some full-sized sailplane gliders have L/D ratios as high as 40. Atypical model rocket boost glider may have a lift-to-dragratio around 3. Contrary to what you might expect, trim-ming your glider to fly at its maximum L/D will allow itto fly farthest horizontally, but it will not result in thegreatest duration (the length of time in the air).
