A physical pendulum consists of an 85-cm-long, 240-g-mass, uniform wooden rod hung from a nail near one end (Fig. 14-38). The motion is damped because of friction in the pivot; the damping force is approximately t proportional to d6/dt. The rod is set in oscillation by displacing it 15 from its equil

Baby birds Do birds learn to time their breeding? Blue titmice eat caterpillars. The birds would like lots of caterpillars around when they have young to feed, but they must breed much earlier. Do the birds learn from one years experience when to time their breeding next year? Researchers randomly as
