    Harmonic Oscillator kinetic and potential energies

    Because my online quiz thing automatically says if I'm right or wrong, and those answers were off. It said that I was within 10%-100% of the actualy answer. My book doesn't really say anything on that.

    Period of a Simple Pendulum in a Moving Truck

    I don't know if it's an internal frame. I think we're assuming it might be? Yes the pendulum is hanging straight down, because we're assuming again that it starts from rest. I'm just not sure where to go from there.

    Harmonic Oscillator kinetic and potential energies

    answers Yeah I got a friend to try those numbers, and they didn't work out. He got the same answers as you, and they are wrong. Hmmmm...I dunno. Everything that you said makes sense

    Period of a Simple Pendulum in a Moving Truck

    No, just whatever I posted above is what he gave us. What do you mean by "canned"?

    Period of a Simple Pendulum in a Moving Truck

    I'm using the equation T= 2 pi square root of (L/G) and I don't know what I'd do with the horizontal acceleration. Because for vertical accleration I just added to G like 9.8 + 2.00 m/s^2 or 9.8 - 2.00 m/s^2 and that was correct for my other two parts of the problem. The mass is not...

    Period of a Simple Pendulum in a Moving Truck

    A simple pendulum is 8.00 meters long.(a) What is the period of simple harmonic motion for the pendulum if it is place in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 2.00 m/s^2There were 2 other questions with accelerating upward and downward in an elevator, and those numbers I either added or...

    Harmonic Oscillator kinetic and potential energies

    A simple harmonic oscillator has a total energy of E. (a) Determine the kinetic and potential energies when the displacement is three-fourths the amplitude. (Give your answer in terms of total energy E of the oscillator.) Kinetic energy ______________ x E <----(times E) Potential energy...
