The work done to lift the metal cylinders while winding the clock is the
same as the work done by the force of gravity lowering the cylinders
while the clock runs. Why is the power to run the clock so much less than
the power to wind the clock?*

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
