A simple pendulum consists of a sphere tied to the end of a string of negligible mass. The sphere is pulled back until the string is horizontal and then released from rest. Assume the gravitational potential energy is zero when the sphere is at its lowest point.

What angle will the string make with the horizontal when the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the sphere-Earth system are equal?

A super dart of mass \(20 \, \text{g}\), traveling at \(350 \, \text{m/s}\), strikes a steel plate at an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the plane of the plate, as shown in the figure. It bounces off the plate at the same angle but at a speed of \(320 \, \text{m/s}\). What is the magnitude of the impulse that the plate gives to the bullet?

MCQ

A kickball is rolled by the pitcher at a speed of 10 m/s and it is kicked by another student. The kickball deforms a little during the kick, and then rebounds with a velocity of 15 m/s as its shape restores to a perfect sphere. Select all that must be true about the kickball and the kicking foot system.
