Is the oscillation period T ( T = 2╥ * sqrt(M/k) ) independent of the Amplitude of the motion? I mean the equation shows that it is but I'm not totally convinced. For example, if a massless spring of k = 6 and M = 0.04 has the mass pulled down (i) 0.04m and then (ii) 0.10m. Will the...

Thank you. I realized after you posted that equation that it was a nonuniform circular motion problem, I was going about it the wrong way.

Homework Statement A high-speed drill rotating ccw at 2200rpm comes to a halt in 2.80 s. What is the drill's angular acceleration? Homework Equations (where w = angular velocity) w = 2╥/T v = wr a = v^2/r a = w^2*r The Attempt at a Solution I start by calculating w. So first I took it to...
