Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object \( A \) falls through a distance \( d_A \) during a time \( t \), and object \( B \) falls through a distance \( d_B \) during a time \( 2t \). If air resistance is negligible, what is the relationship between \( d_A \) and \( d_B \)?
Suppose an object is accelerated by a force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \). Suddenly a second force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \) in the opposite direction is exerted on the object, so that the forces cancel. The object

From the top of a \( 74.0 \) \( \text{m} \) high building, a \( 1.00 \) \( \text{kg} \) ball is dropped in the presence of air resistance. The ball reaches the ground with a speed of \( 31.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \), indicating that drag was significant. How much energy was lost in the form of air resistance/drag during the fall?
An adult exerts a horizontal force on a swing that is suspended by a rope of length \( L \), holding it at an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical. The child in the swing has a weight \( W \) and dimensions that are negligible. In terms of \( W \) and \( \theta \), determine:
At time \( t = 0 \), an object is released from rest at position \( x = +x_{\text{max}} \) and undergoes simple harmonic motion along the \( x \)-axis about the equilibrium position of \( x = 0 \).
