    What is the ball's maximum acceleration?

    Homework Statement A 160 g ball attached to a spring with spring constant 2.8 N/m oscillates horizontally on a frictionless table. Its velocity is 20 cm/s when x_0 = 4.5 cm. a_max = _______ cm/s^2 2. The attempt at a solution Using F = ma and F = kx kx = ma a = kx/m...

    What is the oscillation frequency?

    What is mass and speed of the ball? A spring with spring constant 17 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down 7.5 cm and released. The ball makes 16 oscillations in 22 s seconds. 1) What is its the mass of the ball? (in...
