Explanation When a person is sitting at the center of a rocking bus, he feels comfortable because bus rock around the Center of mass of the bus, and the point about which a vehicle rotate has zero deflection or no deflection thus person feels comfortable while sitting on the center of bus, similarly when in choppy ship or in airplane in turbulence air person feels comfortable because of zero deflection...

Gravitational force

In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is…

Acceleration Due to Gravity

In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the othe…

Bheem and Ram, jump off either side of a bridge while holding opposite ends of a rope and swing back and forth under the bridge to save a child while avoiding a fire. Looking at the swing of just Bheem, we can approximate him as a simple pendulum with a period of motion of 5.59 s. How long is the pendulum ? When Bheem swings, he goes a full distance, from side to side, of 10.2 m. What is his maximum velocity? What is his maximum acceleration?

The position of a 0.300 kg object attached to a spring is described by x=0.271 m ⋅ cos(0.512π⋅rad/s ⋅t) (Assume t is in seconds.) Find the amplitude of the motion. Find the spring constant. Find the position of the object at t = 0.324 s. Find the object's velocity at t = 0.324 s.

Min Min is hanging from her spring-arms off the edge of the level. Due to the spring like nature of her arms she is bouncing up and down in simple harmonic motion with a maximum displacement from equilibrium of 0.118 m. The spring constant of Min-Min’s arms is 9560. N/m and she has a mass of 87.5 kg. What is the period at which she oscillates? Find her maximum speed. Find her speed when she is located 5.00 cm from her equilibrium position.
