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.
A glider like that has a speed range of 34 km/h with 18 km/h of that on the bar, meaning over 50% of the usable speed range is obtained by pushing the speed bar. Knowing how best to use this additional speed range will give you greater performance as you penetrate into headwinds.
