Calcium nitrate and ammonium fluoride react to form calcium fluoride, dinitrogen monoxide, and water vapor. What mass of each substance is present after 16.8 g of calcium nitrate and 17.50 g of ammonium fluoride react completely?

Physics: Principles with Applications 7
A pendulum consists of a mass M hanging at the bottom end of a massless rod of length which has a frictionless pivot at its top end. A mass m, moving as shown in Fig. 735 with velocity v, impacts M and becomes embedded. What is the smallest value of v sufficient to cause the pendulum (with embedded m

Problem 26E A harmonic oscillator has angular frequency ? and amplitude A. (a) What are the magnitudes of the displacement and velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U = 0 at equilibrium.) (b) How often does this occur in each cycle? What is the time
