Question
A cart with mass m=4.2 kg is moving on a frictionless surface. One end of the cart is attached to a spring, the other end of which is attached to a rigid wall. There is no other force exerted on the cart besides the spring force, and the cart follows simple harmonic motion. When the spring is at its equilibruim position, the carat is moving at the speed of 2.1 m/s and the spring can stretch or be compressed as far as 15 cm from the equilibruim position during this simple harmonic motion.
What is the amplitude of a carts simple harmonic motion?
What is the spring constant of the spring?
What is the period of this simple harmonic motion?
What is the maximum acceleration of the cart?
What is the speed of the cart when it is 10 cm away from the equilibrium position of the spring?

- You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude F = 40 N that is attached to a block of mass m, = 7.5 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass m. = 4.8 kg and radius r = 0.4 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 140 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction ( 4s = 0.68 and , = 0.31 ), and the incline angle is e = 25 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the Cylinder, Spring, and Block on Ramp spring stretches. 000000000- b yb First, what is the speed of the block and cylinder after you have pulled the block and cylinder 86 cm down the plane?arrow_forwardA spring with spring constant 23 N/m is compressed a distance of 8.0 cm by a ball with a mass of 219.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 8.0 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A. Assume the ball rolls, but ignore other effects of friction. (Assume that the ball is a solid ball.)

- All spiders are very sensitive to vibrations. An orb spider will sit at the center of its large, circular web and monitor radial threads for vibrations created when an insect lands. Assume that these threads are made of silk with a linear density of 1.0 × 10-5 kg/m under a tension of 0.40 N, both typical numbers. If an insect lands in the web 30 cm from the spider, how long will it take forthe spider to find out?arrow_forwardA spring is hung from the ceiling.
