-The spring is stretched down and released with an initial velocity (v0) in the upward direction. The maximum velocity it reaches is v1. -The spring is stretched down and released with an initial velocity (v0) in the downward direction. The maximum velocity it reaches is v2. Rank the...

I have no idea how to approach this problem. I'm not even sure if my visualization is right. Where do I start? Somebody please guide me; I'm not asking for a step by step solution to the answer. I just want to know how to do it. ________________________________________________ A thin...

Give a parametric representation of the following surfaces in terms of the given parameter variables: a) The first octant portion of the sphere (x^2) + (y^2) + (z^2) = 16 in terms of the spherical variables theta and phi. b)The graph of the function z = (x^3) - sqrt(y) in terms of the...

ω is equal to .845 m/s. Divide that by 2pi to get the angular frequency and you get .1345, which is incorrect. Edit: Angular frequency (not frequency) is .845 m/s (the answer). Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate it.

i see, i forgot omega is the sqrt of k/m. thanks for the reply.

This is the question: A massless spring with a spring constant of 0.50 N/m, has a mass of 0.7 kg on its end. The maximum speed of the end is 2.5 m/s. What is the angular frequency of the system? I don't know how to approach this problem at all. I just know that omega/2pi is the...

Thanks, I see what I did wrong now.

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Answer the following questions for a mass that is hanging on a spring and oscillating up and down with simple harmonic motion. Note: the oscillation is small enough that the spring stays stretched beyond its rest length the entire time. Answer...
