A simple pendulum is 8.00 m long. (a) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating upward at 9.00 m/s²? (b) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating downward at 9.00 m/s²? S (c) What is the period of this pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 9.00 m/s²?

When taking my pet turkey to the vet, the scale read a mass of 29 kg. The scale consists of a spring that has a force constant value of 36000 N/m.   Part (a)  What distance did the spring move when the pet turkey jumped onto the scale?  d=     m    Part (b)  Assuming that the spring behaves as a simple harmonic oscillator, what is the oscillation frequency of the spring when the pet turkey steps on the scale?  f =    Hz

A simple pendulum is 4.00 m long. (a) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating upward at 8.00 m/s²? (b) What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator accelerating downward at 8.00 m/s²? (c) What is the period of this pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 8.00 m/s²?

A 0.20 kg ball is tied to a string.  It is pulled to an angle of 8.00º and released to swing as a pendulum.  At student with a stopwatch finds that 10 oscillations take 12 s.  How long is the string?  Use g = 10 m/s/s.

When a 20 N can is hung from the bottom of a vertical spring, it causes the spring to stretch 20 cm. (a) What is the spring constant? (b) This spring is now placed horizontally on a frictionless table.  One end of it is held fixed, and the other end is attached to a 5.0 N can. The can is then moved (stretching the spring) and released from rest. What is the period of the resulting oscillation?
