A spring-block oscillator is released from rest 3.0 cm from its equilibrium position. After release, it undergoes an oscillation of period 1.2 s. The procedure is repeated with the same spring and block, but this time the block is released from rest 6.0 cm from equilibrium. What is the period of oscillation now?

A 240 g air-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 9.60 cm and released. A student with a stopwatch finds that 14.0 oscillations take 12.5 s.

Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.2 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 270 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet? 5.6 m/s² 6.5 m/s² 7.8 m/s² 9.8 m/s²

A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?

One procedure used to determine the mass of astronauts in space consists of in making them oscillate in a spring-mass system. For this a 42.5 kg chair is used connected to a spring. When the chair is empty it takes 1.3 s to complete one swing. When the astronaut sits in the chair it takes the system 2.54 s to complete one oscillation. Determine the mass of the astronaut.

A mass m is attached to a spring with a spring constant k and undergoes simple harmonic motion. A mass m1 is now attached to m, and the period of oscillation is recorded as T1. The mass m1 is removed and a new mass m2 is attached to m, and the period of oscillation is recorded as T2. What are masses m, m1 and m2 if k = 100N/m, T1 = 2.13s, T2 = 1.55s and β ≡ m2/m1 = 0.40?

A pendulum has its amplitude of oscillation decrease to 32.5% of its original value. If it takes 19.4 s for this to occur, what is the time constant for the pendulum? - 8.63 s- 34.5 s- 2.79 s- 17.3 s

A simple pendulum of mass m = unknown, oscillates with a period T = 1.70 s. What planet is it? 2.00 kg and length L = 0.820 m on planet X, where the value of g is Venus, g = 8.87 m/s² Jupiter, g = 24.8 m/s2 Neptune, g = 11.2 m/s2 Mercury, g = 3.70 m/s2 Earth, g = 9.81 m/s2

A mass of 4.6 g is suspended from a massless spring of natural length 90 mm with the spring constant k = 3 Nm and causes the spring to extend by 10 mm. The mass is pulled down a further 5 mm and then released. Assuming g = 9.8 ms2, calculate the period of simple harmonic motion of the mass. Give your answer in Sl units.

Consider an ideal mass-spring system that is hung vertically in a lift. When the lift is stationary, it oscillates with a period T. What is the period of oscillation when the lift now accelerates upward at 4g? O TI2 O 4T O T14 O 2T O T
