Report on the percentage errors (with uncertainty) between the value of 'k' from the F vs displacement plot and each of the values of 'k' from the period measurements. Please comment on the goodness of the results.
Value of k = Spring constant k = 50.00 N/m
Each of the values of k from period measurements:
Six Measurements of time for 5 osccilations: t1 = 7.76s, t2=8.00s, t3=7.40s, t4=7.00s, t5=6.90s, t6=7.10s
(t1-tavg)^2 = (7.76-7.36)^2 = 0.16%(t2-tavg)^2 =(8.00-7.36)^2 = 0.4096%(t3-tavg)^2 =(7.40-7.36)^2 = 0.0016%(t4-tavg)^2 =(7.00-7.36)^2 = 0.1296%(t5-tavg)^2 =(6.90-7.36)^2 = 0.2116%(t6-tavg)^2 =(7.10-7.36)^2 = 0.0676

In mountainous regions, highways sometimes include a runaway truck ramp, and you are asked to help with the design of such a ramp. A runaway truck ramp is often a lane of gravel adjacent to a long downhill section of roadway where trucks with failing brakes may need assistance to stop. Working with your supervisor, you develop a worst-case scenario: a truck with a mass of 6.00 × 104 kg enters a runaway truck lane traveling at 34.1 m/s. Assume that the maximum constant value for safe acceleration of the truck is -5.00 m/s². Any higher magnitude of acceleration increases the likelihood that semi-trailer rigs could jackknife. Your supervisor asks you to advise her on the required length (in m) of a runaway truck lane on a flat section of ground next to the roadway. marrow_forwardA large cruise ship of mass 6.20 × 107 kg has a speed of 10.2 m/s at some instant.
