A 0.56 kg metal sphere oscillates at the end of a vertical spring. As the spring stretches from 0.12 m to 0.23m (relative to its unstrained length), the speed of the sphere decreases from 5.9 to 4.5 m/s. What is the spring constant of the spring?

To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to the top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 6.10 s. What is the height of the tower? Number Unitsarrow_forward
- An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.65 kg1.65 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance ?=0.0925 md=0.0925 m from its original length when it reaches equilibrium. The mass is then lifted up a distance ?=0.0315 mL=0.0315 m from the equilibrium position and released.

- A horizontal spring is attached to a wall at one end and a mass of 5.3 kg on the other end. The spring is pulled 0.88 m from equilibrium and released from rest to oscillate frictionlessly with a period of 6.6 s. What is the magnitude of the maximum velocity reached by the mass? 0.84 m/s 36 m/s 0.97 m/s 5.8 m/sarrow_forwardA 50 g mass on the end of a horizontal spring( k=80 N/m) is moving at a speed of 2m/s when 3.4cm from equilibrium. What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the mass?arrow_forward3) OK, once again we have a pendulum, this time of length 1.94 m, which you release from rest at an angle of 59.1 degrees to the vertical. What will be the speed of the pendulum at the instant it reaches an angle of 29.6 degrees above the vertical? Question 2 options: 6.88 m/s 3.68 m/s 4.30 m/s 2.23 m/s 4) This, the length of the pendulum is 2.17 m. Now you start with the pendulum at 10.2 degrees with respect to the vertical, but rather than releasing it from rest, you give it a push downward. It swings to the other side, and reaches a maximum angle of 34.0 degrees with respect to the vertical. What must have been the initial speed of the pendulum just after you pushed it? 2.70 m/s 0.82 m/s 3.51 m/s 2.57 m/sarrow_forward
