In simple harmonic motion, when is the magnitude of the acceleration the greatest? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
 
  A) when the kinetic energy is a minimum
  B) when the displacement is a zero
  C) when the speed is a maximum
  D) when the potential energy is a maximum
  E) when the magnitude of the displacement is a maximum

Question 2

A baseball pitcher is employing a ballistic pendulum to determine the speed of his fastball. A lump of clay is suspended from a cord 2.0 m long.
 
  When the pitcher throws his fastball aimed directly at the clay, the ball suddenly becomes embedded in the clay and the two swing up to a maximum height of 0.080 m. If the mass of the baseball is 0.21 kg, find the speed of the pitched ball.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
