Question
The common field cricket makes its characteristic loud chirping sound using a specialized vibrating structure in its wings. The motion of this structure—and the sound intensity that it produces—can be modeled as a damped oscillation. The sound intensity of such a cricket is as shown.
a. What is the frequency of the oscillations?
b. What is the time constant for the decay of these oscillations?

- Pendulum clocks use the repetitive motion of the oscillations to track time. Imagine you have one of these clocks and you move from the lower elevation of St. Catharines to the higher elevation of Calgary. Will you need to adjust the length of the pendulum to keep time correctly? If so, will you need to increase or decrease the length of the pendulum to ensure the pendulum keeps time correctly? O The length of the pendulum will need to be decreased. O The length of the pendulum will need to be increased. O The length of the pendulum will not need to be changed.arrow_forwardI would like some help with thus problem, thank you!arrow_forwardA mass of 1.64 Kg is connected to a spring of spring constant 9.02 N/m.
