    Does a Suspended Baseball Bat Really Function as a Simple Pendulum?

    thanks tide. Yeah I figured that a baseball bat does not make a simple pendulum.

    Does a Suspended Baseball Bat Really Function as a Simple Pendulum?

    If you were to suspend a baseball bat from one end and let it swing back and forth, does it make a simple pendulum? Ok I think it doesn't because a baseball bat's upper portion(bat head) weighs more than the bottom so I figure that it will stop after one swing instead of swaying back and...

    Solving Oscillation Problem: Find Time for Pendulum with 30m Cable

    A wrecking ball is suspended from a crane by a cable that is 30 m long. How much time is required for such a simple pendulum to make one complete oscillation? no picture was given to me Ok this is a pendulum problem and its asking for time which is the period. So I think that this formula...

    Find spring constant of spring in N/m.help

    Ok here is the correct solution. k=mg/x k= (.1kg)(9.81)/.02m k= 49.1 N/m so I got the correct answer by using hooke's law? Now that I got that then for part b it asks: How much force wil cause the spring to compress by 0.5 cm? F=-kx So the answer is F=...

    Find spring constant of spring in N/m.help

    A mass of 100 g causes a vertical spring to stretch by 2.0 cm. a) find the spring constant of the spring in N/m: No picture was given to me. Ok I am not sure if this is the formula to find spring constant so is it: k= mg/x and if so the answer is k=(100)(9.81)/2.0 cm k= 490.5 N/m...
