During an earthquake the top of a high rise building sways back and forth. The largest distance between extremes of this motion are found to be 3m. A resident of the top floor reports that he timed how long it took to go from one side to the other as 1.5s.
a. Find the maximum velocity of the top floor of the building.
b. Find the maximum acceleration of the top floor of the building.
Homework Answers
Given,
d = 3 m ; t = 1.5 s
a)v = d/t
v = 3/1.5 = 2 m/s
Hence, v = 2 m/s
b)a = v/t
a = 2/1.5 = 1.33 m/s^2
Hence, a = 1.33 m/s^2

A block of mass m = 2 kg slides back and forth on a frictionless
horizontal track. It is attached to a spring with a relaxed length
of L = 3 m and a spring constant k = 8 N/m. The spring is initially
vertical, which is its the relaxed postion but then the block is
pulled d = 3 m to one side
1. By what length is the spring extended? _______m

Case: Enron: Questionable Accounting Leads to CollapseIntroductionOnce upon a time, there was a gleaming office tower in Houston, Texas. In front of that gleaming tower was a giant “E,” slowly revolving, flashing in the hot Texas sun. But in 2001, the Enron Corporation, which once ranked among the top Fortune 500 companies, would collapse under a mountain of debt that had been concealed through a complex scheme of off-balance-sheet partnerships. Forced to declare bankruptcy, the energy firm laid off 4,000...
