A toddler with a mass of 14.4 kg bounces up and down in her crib. The crib mattress behaves like a light spring with force constant 1840 N/m. (a) The toddler bounces with at a frequency that allows her to reach a maximum amplitude with minimum effort. What is this frequency (in Hz)? Hz (b) The toddler now bounces high enough to lose contact with the mattress once each cycle, like a trampoline. What is the minimum amplitude of oscillation (in cm) required for this to occur? cm

A spring is mounted vertically on the floor. The mass of the spring is negligible. A certain object is placed on the spring to compress it. When the object is pushed further down by just a bit and the released, one up/ down oscillation cycle occurs in 0.230s. However, when the object is pushed by 5.32 x 10-2 m from unstrained position to point P and then released, the object flies entirely off the spring. To what height above point P does the object rise in the absence of air resistance?
A partridge of mass 5.01 kg is suspended from a pear tree by an ideal spring of negligible mass. When the partridge is pulled down 0.100 m below its equilibrium position and released, it vibrates with a period of 4.21 s. What is its speed as it passes through the equilibrium position? What is its speed as it passes through the equilibrium position? When it is moving upward, how much time is required for it to move from a point 0.050 m below its equilibrium position to a point 0.050 m above it?
A 0.4 kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant of 17 N/m. At t=0s the block is 0.3 m below the equilibrium point and moving upward with a speed of 1.6 m/s. What is the block's oscillation frequency (in Hz)?
Answer is 2.6 or -2.6 cm

A 1.00-kg mass is attached to a spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The spring constant of the spring is 1.00 N/cm. The mass is pulled downward 2.00 cm and released. What is the speed of the mass when it is 1.00 cm above the point from which it was released? 0.0443 m/s 1.73 m/s 1.67 m/s 0.0201 m/s The mass will not reach the height specified.
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.
A ball of mass 0.05 kg vibrates back and forth from the free end of an ideal spring having a force constant of 50 N/m. If amplitude of the motion is 0.10 m what is the kinetic energy of the ball when it is 0.04 m from its equilibrium postion.
When a 20 N can is hung from the bottom of a vertical spring, it causes the spring to stretch 20 cm. (a) What is the spring constant? (b) This spring is now placed horizontally on a frictionless table. One end of it is held fixed, and the other end is attached to a 5.0 N can. The can is then moved (stretching the spring) and released from rest. What is the period of the resulting oscillation?
