- A group of astronauts, upon landing on planet X, performed a simple pendulum experiment in the MHS (Single Harmonic Movement, Small Amplitude) regime with length L=1,1132 m. In the experiment, the pendulum performs n=9 complete oscillations at t=13,5459 s. Calculate the gravity acceleration of planet X at the experiment location. Give your answer to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardIf you did the previous question right, you hopefully got an expression for yo. You may notice that you can simplify the differential equation a little bit: d'y k (y – yo) dt2 т The parameter yo now plays the roll of the "relaxed length". A better term may be "equilibrium value for y". But mathematically, it's identical to a relaxed length with the spring as the only force. We continue using this equation: y(t) = Y0 + A cos(wt + y) Now, solve for A (in cm) with these parameters. Again, if you need more information, enter -100000.

- A mass of 18 kilograms stretches the spring 0.3 meters. Use this information to find the spring constant (use g = 9.81 m/s² as the acceleration of gravity). k = 588 The previous mass is detached from the spring and a mass of 14 kilograms is attached. This mass is displaced 0.7 meters below equilibrium and then launched with an initial velocity of 1 meters/second. Find the equation of motion. Note: When solving this problem, consider positions below equilibrium to be positive. x(t) =arrow_forwardCan you help me solve these equations?arrow_forwardConsider the case of a student wishing to determine the spring constant for a spring by measuring the period of oscillation of a mass on the spring. The student knows that the relationship between the spring constant (k), the mass (m), and the period of oscillation (T) is given by the equation T = 2πsquare root of m/k. (1) This is not a Iinear equation; to see this, plot the period (T) vs. mass ( m). E quation ( 1) can be made linear by squaring both sides of equation (1). Next try to put the equation into y = mx +b form (dont confuse m for slope in this equation with m for mass in equation 1 above). T2, is the independent variable, like y, m is the independent variable. Now plot T2 versus m and find the slope of the Iine in your graph. The slope of the resulting Iine can be used to determine the spring constant k. Show your calculation of the slope and k, the spring constant on your graph.arrow_forward
