4. A student is observing the oscillations of a mass on the end of a spring. The spring has a force constant of 6 x 10-5N/m, and the mass is 0.15 kg. She pulls it 6 cm below equilibrium and lets it go. She now writes an equation which she believes describes the motion of the mass. In her description, the y axis is vertical, and UP is positive. Her equation is
y = (3 cm) sin ( 0.02 sec-1 t + 3.14)
(A) Does she have the amplitude right? If not, what was right? If yes, explain.
(B) Does she have the frequency right? If not, what was right? If yes, explain.
(C) Does she have the phase angle right? If not, what was right? If yes, explain.



1. Pendulum clocks are very important for the history of exploration. Accurate time was the best way to determine one's longitude, since the time of sunrise or sunset depends sensitively on your longitude. In this regard, the great enemy of accuracy was thermal expansion of the pendulum used for the chronometer. We are considering a large mass attached at the end of a brass rod. The mass at the end is much greater than the mass of the rod, so we...
A block of mass 0.125 kg is hanging on a spring. Nora gently pulls the mass down a distance of 3.6 cm and then lets go. The mass bobs up and down in simple harmonic motion (i.e. it oscillates) with a period of 0.47 s. (a) What is the value of the spring constant? N/m Nora stops the mass from oscillating. She gently pulls the mass down again, this time to a distance of 4.6 cm, and lets the mass...
A.The earth's acceleration due to gravity varies from 9.780 m/s2 at the equator to 9.832 m/s2 at the poles. A pendulum whose length is precisely 1.000 m can be used to measure g. Such a device is called a gravimeter. a. How long do 100 oscillations take at the equator? b.How long do 100 oscillations take at the north pole? B) An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal...
Can you explain in detail and clear please
Part A An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a period of 0.51 s.His older sister pulls the spring a bit more than intended. She puls the animal 35 cm below its equilibrium position, then lets go. The animal fies upward and detaches from the spring right at the animal's equilibrium position. the animal does...
1. An auto CD rotates at 480 rpm (rev/min). What is the period and frequency of the CD? 2. In physics class, your teacher shows you a demonstration of a spring � mass system. A spring is connected to a cart on an air track. She moves the cart 0.15 m from its equilibrium position and lets go at t = 0. The cart completes 1 oscillation every 3.0 seconds. What is the position of the cart at 0.30 seconds?...
For a mass-spring oscillator, Newton's second law implies that the position y(t) of the mass is governed by the second-order differential equation my'' (t) + by' (t) + ky(t) = 0. (a) Find the equation of motion for the vibrating spring with damping if m= 10 kg, b = 100 kg/sec, k = 260 kg/sec?. y(0) = 0.3 m, and y'(0) = -0.4 m/sec. (b) After how many seconds will the mass in part (a) first cross the equilibrium point?...
