undefined Solution To Determine: The best path in the drawing and the best path of the box as seen by a person standing on the ground. Solution: The best path that describes trajectory, according to the figure given in your textbook, of the box is a path (d). Explanation: Given: Helicopter is moving at constant speed in a horizontal direction. Formula used: The horizontal distance x is defined as: x = v o x t ... ( 1 ) Where: v o is the initial speed t is the time elapsed While that, the vertical distance y is defined as: y = v o y t + 1 2 g t 2 ... ( 2 ) Where: g is the acceleration due to gravity. t is the time elapsed. Calculations: The object is dropped from a moving helicopter at a constant speed.This means that when the object is released, it shares the initialspeed of the helicopter in a horizontal direction. Now, the box moves with velocity of a constant horizontal speed v o x and accelerates vertically downwards by the action of gravity. When these two velocities are combined, the box moves in a parabolic trajectory. In effect, isolating t from equation (1): t = x v o x ... ( 3 ) Now, substitute (3) into equation (2): y = 0 + 1 2 g t 2 y = 1 2 g ( x v o x ) 2 Therefore, the box is moving in a parabolic trajectory. Conclusion: The best path that describes the trajectory of the box is a path (d).

13. After a gust of wind, an orb weaver spider with a mass of 35 g, hanging on a strand of web of length L = .420 m, undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHO) with an amplitude A and period T. If the spider climbs 12.0 cm up the web without perturbing the oscillation otherwise, what is the period of oscillation, in Hz to three significant figures?

15. An object of mass m = 8.10 kg is attached to an ideal spring and allowed to hang in the earth's gravitational field. The spring stretches 23.10 cm before it reaches its equilibrium position. The mass then undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10.5 cm. Calculate the velocity of the mass in m/s at a time t= 1.00s to three significant figures.
