Spring Motion (See Exercise 15.) A spring with spring constant k = 2 and a 1-unit mass m attached to it is stretched and then allowed to come to rest.
(a) If the spring is stretched
ft and released, what are the amplitude, period, and frequency of the resulting oscillatory motion?
(b) What is the equation of the motion?
Spring Motion The formula for the up and down motion of a weight on a spring is given by
If the spring constant k is 4, what mass m must be used to produce a period of 1 sec?

- Define Newton’s Law of Cooling. Then name at least three real-world situations where Newton’s Law of Cooling would be applied.arrow_forwardForce If you have ever ridden on a chair lift at a ski area and had it stop, you know that the chair will pull down on the cable, dropping you down to a lower height than when the chair is in motion. Figure 19 shows a gondola that is stopped. Find the magnitude of the tension in the cable toward each end of the cable if the total weight of the gondola and its occupants is 1,850 pounds.arrow_forwardVan der Waals Equation In Exercise 18 at the end of Section 2.3, we discussed the ideal gas law, which shows the relationship among volume V, pressure p, and temperature T for a fixed amount 1 mole of a gas. But chemists believe that in many situations, the van der Waals equation gives more accurate results. If we measure temperature T in kelvins, volume V in liters, and pressure p in atmosphere 1 atm is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level, then the relationship for carbon dioxide is given by p=0.082TV0.0433.592V2atm What volume does this equation predict for 1 mole of carbon dioxide at 500 kelvins and 100 atm?Suggestion: Consider volumes ranging from 0.1 to 1 liter.arrow_forward
