An iron ball hangs from a 21.5-m steel cable and is used in the demolition of a building at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.78 m/s2. The ball is swung outward from its equilibrium position for a distance of 4.20 m. Assuming the system behaves as a simple pendulum, find the maximum speed of the ball during its swing.

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
