A hang glider and its pilot have a total mass equal to 120 kg. While executing a 360° turn, the glider moves in a circle with an 8-m radius. The glider’s speed is 10 m/s.

(b) What is the acceleration?

Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A massless spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in the figure, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When glider 1 touches the spring, superglue instantly and permanently makes it stick to its end of the spring. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, find the speed v of the system of the spring and both gliders when the spring is at maximum compression and (b) the maximum compression distant x_max of the spring. The motion after the gliders become attached consists of the combination of (1) the constant-velocity motion of the center of mass of the two-glider system found in part (a) and (2) simple harmonic motion of the gliders relative to the center of mass

14.37 • A 175-g glider on a horizontal, frictionless air track is attached to a fixed ideal spring with force constant 155 N/m. At the instant you make measurements on the glider, it is moving at 0.815 m/s and is 3.00 cm from its equilibrium point. Use energy conservation to find (a) the amplitude of the motion and (b) the maximum speed of the glider. (C) What is the angular frequency of the oscillations?

A 1.00-kg glider attached to a spring with a force constant of 25.0 N/m oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal air track. At t = 0, the glider is released from rest at x = –3.00 cm (that is, the spring is compressed by 3.00 cm).

Find (a) the period of the glider’s motion, (b) the maximum values of its speed and acceleration, and (c) the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time.
