    Simple harmonic motion: find amplitude given k, x, v, and a

    ok that makes sense maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how did you get this?

    Simple harmonic motion: find amplitude given k, x, v, and a

    velocity = dx/dt and acceleration = d2x/dt2? So v = -ωAsin(ωt+phi) and a = -ω2Acos(ωt+phi) Sorry horizontal

    Simple harmonic motion: find amplitude given k, x, v, and a

    Homework Statement A block attached to a spring is experiencing simple harmonic motion. You know the value of postion, velocity, and acceleration at an unknown time. Find the period of oscillation, the mass of the block, and the amplitude of oscillation. We were given values for k, x, v, a...

    Learning a second language as an aerospace engineer

    Hopefully someone with some experience in the field can help me out here: I'm currently studying engineering and I'm going to use my liberal arts concentration to learn a second language. In the aerospace engineering field, i would think it would be beneficial to know Russian, Mandarin, or...
