Ch9 3 #4
This a resonance question, and you are tapping at the resonance frequency. Why must this be the resonance frequency?
Ch9 3 #1
Remember that total energy is conserved, and figure out when either KE or PE is zero. When KE is zero PE must be its maximum and vice versa

Ch8 3 #1
This problem is like the conservation of energy problems in Ch6, but now there is also kinetic energy of rotation, equation 8.15
Ch8 2 #2
The "net torque" is the sum of all torques. Remember the opposite rotation directions have opposite signs.
Ch8 1 #4
This problem is very much like the previous problem and uses the same basic ideas. Do you see why?
Ch8 1 #3
Use the rotational analogies for linear motion in constant acceleration. The rotational forms are equations 8.7 - 8.9
Ch8 1 #2
Decide if any of the quantities, angular or linear, must be the same for both people by using the picture without any math needed. Then use definitions like equation 8.3.

Ch7 2 #4
In addition to Ch7 momentum conservation, you'll need the work-energy theorem from Ch 6. The friction does work to slow the block down. Do this problem in two pieces: (1) immediately before and immediately after the collision, and (2) while the block slows down.
Ch7 1 #3
Break these problems into parts corresponding to each value of the force. (Right is moving in the positive x direction.)
