I have two springs, one "soft" and easy to stretch, and the other "stiff" and more difficult to stretch. I hang a 50 gram mass from each of the springs and observe their rates of vibration. Then, I change the sizes of the masses hanging from both springs. a. What is the effect on the rates of vibration by changing the masses? b. What seems to fetermine the rates of vibration of the springs?

One end of a string is attached to an object of mass M; When the object is raised to a position X that is a height H above its lowest point and released from rest, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion. When the object passes through the equilibrium position Y it has a speed of v. Which of the following methods could a student use to determine the total mechanical energy at Position Y & why. Select 2 answers. A.ME = KE - PE because energy changes from KE to PE when the pendulum swings from X to Y B.ME = PE - KE because energy changes from PE to KE when the pendulum swings from Y to X C.ME = KE because this represents the maximum KE at Y as the system has 0 PE at Y D.ME = PE because this equation represents the maximum PE at X if the system has zero PE at Y
Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 3.2 × 105 kg on springs that have adjustable force constants. Its function is to dampen wind-driven oscillations of the building by oscillating at the same frequency as the building is being driven—the driving force is transferred to the object, which oscillates instead of the entire building.
