  a.
  The gravitational potential energy of the system is greatest at A.
   
  b.
  The elastic potential energy of the system is greatest at O.
   
  c.
  The rate of change of momentum has its greatest magnitude at A and B.
   
  d.
  The rate of change of gravitational potential energy is smallest at O.
   
  e.
  The rate of change of gravitational potential energy has its greatest magnitude at A and B.

Question 2

Which is the correct ranking in order of increasing angular frequency ?
 
 
 
   
  a.
  hoop, cylinder, sphere
   
  b.
  cylinder, sphere, hoop
   
  c.
  sphere, cylinder, hoop
