Any real spring has mass. Do you think that this mass would make the actual period of a real harmonic oscillator longer or shorter than the period predicted by the equation T= 2*pi*square root m/k. Explain your reasoning.
I think it will affect the period because I am thinking that the mass...
Finding the Spring Constant -- Help! Algebra Issues!
Molecular bonds can be treated like springs. From the vibrational frequencies of the bonds, one can determine the appropriate spring constants. Hydrogen, H2, has a vibrational frequency of 1.3192 X 1014Hz. Deuterium, D2, is an isotope of...
so one is in the x direction and the other is in the y direction. ball is in the x and the doll is the y direction.
x = x0 + v0xt
y = y0 +v0yt - 1/2gt^2
or am I looking at this wrong?
Consider the following: You have a toy gun that shoots ping-pong balls at about 5 m/s. You aim the gun at a doll sitting on a fence. Just as you pull the trigger, a friend of yours (or so you thought) nudged the doll forward, just enough to fall off the fence. Will the ping-pong ball hit the...
well i don't think velocity would be constant cause velocity is magnitude and direction and the direction changes so it would change, I think. I'm pretty sure I'm considering the projectile in the zx plane so y will always be 0.
As a projectile moves along its parabolic trajectory, which of the following remain constant (ignoring air resistance, and defining the z-axis to point upward)? More than one answer may be correct!
a. Its speed.
b. Its velocity.
c. Its x-velocity and its y-velocity.
d...
If a fireworks rocket has an initial upward speed of 58 m/s when launched, for how long will it coast before reaching its peak?
So could I use the equation t=v0z/g?
When I use this I get the peak to be 5.9s. Is v0z = 58 m/s or would that be 0? Am I approaching this correctly?
