Pendulum Time

The period of a pendulum is how long it takes it to complete a full back-and- forth swing. Because a pendulum’s period depends only on its length for a given gravitational strength, pendulums have long been used to keep time in clocks. On Earth’s surface, the length l (in meters) of a pendulum with a period of T seconds is modeled by,

for the period of a pendulum of a given length.a

For the function f(x) defined by the given set of ordered pairs, determine a restricted domain on f(x) for an inverse function,
that contains the most possible ordered pairs. Then show the ordered pairs of the inverse function.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has due to its motion. The kinetic energy E (in joules) of an object with a mass of m kilograms moving at v meters per second is modeled by the function,

Find a model v(E) for the velocity of an object with mass m and kinetic energy E.

A top-speed professional baseball pitch can have a kinetic energy of 150 joules, while a professional bowling ball may impact the pins with a kinetic energy of 250 joules. The mass of a baseball is 0.149 kg. The mass of a bowling ball is 7.3 kg. How do the speeds of the baseball and bowling ball compare?
