(a) Calculate the frequency of the damped oscillation. (b) By what per- centage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle? (c) Find the time interval that elapses while the energy of the system drops to 5.00% of its initial value.

A mass of 16 kilograms is suspended from a spring with spring constant 7 Kg/sec^2. The damping constant is 2 Kg/sec and the spring is subject to an external force F(t)= 3cos(9t) Newtons. The motion of the mass eventually settles down to a periodic oscillation. What is the period (in sec) of this periodic oscillation? 2 9.

Hz(b) Find the force constant of the spring. N/m(c) If the total energy of the oscillating motion is 0.254 J, find the amplitude of the oscillations. m
A proud deep-sea fisherman hangs a 51.5-kg fish from an ideal spring having negligible mass. The fish stretches the spring 0.210 m. What is the period (in seconds) of oscillation of the fish? Final answer in two decimal places.

An apple weighs 1.04 NN. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.54 N/mN/m and negligible mass, it bounces up and down in SHM. If you stop the bouncing and let the apple swing from side to side through a small angle, the frequency of this simple pendulum is half the bounce frequency. (Because the angle is small, the back and forth swings do not cause any appreciable change in the length of the spring.) What is the unstretched length of the spring (i.e., without the apple attached)? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

48. Show that the time rate of change of mechanical energy for a damped, undriven oscillator is given by dE/dt = -bu and hence is always negative. To do so, differentiate the expression for the mechanical energy of an oscillator, E = m + kx, and use Equation 15.31.
An undamped 1.24 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 23.2 N/m. While oscillating, it is found to have a speed of 2.84 m/s as it passes through its equilibrium position. What is its amplitude A of oscillation? A = Etot 4.31 ×10-¹ Incorrect What is the oscillator's total mechanical energy Etot as it passes through a position that is 0.676 of the amplitude away from the equilibrium position? = 2.15 m Incorrect J
