Question
A spring with a spring constant of 30.0 N/m is attached to a rigid wall at one end and a 6.00 kg block at the other end; the block is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block is stretched 0.400 m from its equilibrium position, then released and allowed to oscillate back and forth.
Determine the speed of the block when it is 0.100 m from its equilibrium position
Determine the maximum acceleration of the block
Sketch graphs of the position and speed as a function of time. Be sure to adequately label your axes and key points of interest

- Question 4 The frequency of a body moving with simple harmonic motion is doubled. If the amplitude remains the same, which of the following is also doubled? ABCD Time period Total energy Maximum velocity Maximum accelerationarrow_forwardQuestion A student performs an experiment that involves the motion of a pendulum. The student attaches one end of a string to an object of mass � and secures the other end of the string so that the object is at rest as it hangs from the string. When the student raises the object to a height above its lowest point and releases it from rest, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion. As the student collects data about the time it takes for the pendulum to undergo one oscillation, the student observes that the time for one swing significantly changes after each oscillation. The student wants to conduct the experiment a second time. Which two of the following procedures should the student consider when conducting the second experiment? Select two answers. Responses Make sure that the length of the string is not too long. Make sure that the mass of the pendulum is not too large. Make sure that the difference in height between the pendulum’s release position and…arrow_forwardTwo children are on adjacent swings at the playground. One child has twice the mass of the other child. Will they be able to swing in sync with the other child? A. No, this is impossible because the mass of the two are different. B. No, this is impossible because the gravity is unknown. C. Yes, as long as the lengths of the two swings are proportional to the mass. D. Yes, as long as the lengths of the swings are the same.arrow_forward
