Concept explainers
A spring has an unstretched length of 20 cm. A 100 g mass hanging from the spring stretches it to an equilibrium length of 30 cm.
a. Suppose the mass is pulled down to where the spring’s length is 40 cm. When it is released, it begins to oscillate. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?
A. 5.0 cm
B. 10 cm
C. 20 cm
D. 40 cm
b. For the data given above, what is the frequency of the oscillation?
A. 0.10 Hz
B. 0.62 Hz
C.1.6 Hz
D. 10Hz
c. Suppose this experiment were done on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is approximately 1/6 of that on the earth. How would this change the frequency of the oscillation?
A. The frequency would decrease.
B. The frequency would increase.
C. The frequency would stay the same.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
