Title
A refrigerator compressor that weighs 8 kg is fixed to three separate springs on the refrigerator frame. Each has a spring constant of 0.01 N/m. What is the natural frequency of the system?
A 2.0-m pendulum on a particular planet has a period of 4.6 s. What is the gravitational field strength on that planet?
A system consists of a 2.0-kg mass hanging from a vertical spring that has a spring constant of 8.0 N/m. The system is displaced 20.0 cm and continues to vibrate with no damping.-Determine the amplitude, and calculate the period and frequency
A pendulum has a bob of 28 kg and is 38 cm in diameter. It is hung on a wire that is 67 m long. What are its period and frequency near the surface of the Earth?
A 0.40-kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillates with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. What is the maximum acceleration of the system?
A student group is conducting a lab to determine the variables that affect the period of a pendulum motion. The group identified three variables to test: the length of the pendulum, the mass of the pendulum bob
The pendulum on an old mechanical, weight-driven clock has a period of 3.0 s. What is the length of the clocks pendulum?
A wave generator in a pool produces one wave every minute. What is the frequency of vibration?
An elastic cord can be stretched to it's elastic limit by a load of 2newton. If a 35cm length of the cord is stretched 0.6cm by a force of 0.5newton, what will be the length of the cord when the stretching force is 2.5 newton
The displacement (in centimeters) of the vibrating cone of a large loudspeaker is represented by the equation x= 2.0 cos(150t). What is the frequency of the vibration of the tip of the cone?
