    How does spring constant affect amplitude and frequency in SHM?

    Homework Statement Compare the simple harmonic motion of two identical masses oscillating up and down on springs with different spring constants. Homework Equations F = -kxThe Attempt at a Solution Okay, so I understand that the higher the spring constant, the harder it is to compress the...

    Centripetal Force, and Car Drifting Question

    Would it be right to assume Force centripetal = Force kinetic friction, if the car were to achieve maximum speed? As for the second part, does it mean that the coefficient for kinetic friction has increased?

    Computer base unit dragged at 23° to horizontal

    I think I got it. Would it make sense to solve it this way? ∑ Forces in y direction = Force Normal - Force gravity + Force tension in y direction

    Centripetal Force, and Car Drifting Question

    Are you asking me what I think or are you verifying the question?

    Computer base unit dragged at 23° to horizontal

    There can't be a coefficient of kinetic friction if there is no friction right, and there is no friction because it is smooth desk, right?

    Computer base unit dragged at 23° to horizontal

    Hi! Another Physics homework question that needs solving immediately! Thank you in advance. A computer base unit of mass 7.5 kg is dragged along a smooth desk. If the normal contact force is 23 N and the tension in the arm of the person dragging it acts at 23° to the horizontal, then what is...
