A block hangs from a spring with spring constant. The block is pulled down from the equilibrium position and given an initial velocity ofback toward equilibrium. What are the (a) frequency, (b) amplitude, and (c) total mechanical energy of the motion
In a science museum, a 110 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 15.0-m-long wire. The pendulum is started at exactly 8:00 a.m. every morning by pulling it 1.5 m to the side and releasing it. Because of its compact shape and smooth surface, the pendulum鈥檚 damping constant is only 0.010 kg/s. At exactly 12:00 noon, how many oscillations will the pendulum have completed and what is its amplitude?
When a guitar string plays the note 鈥淎,鈥 the string vibrates at . What is the period of the vibration?
What is the difference between the driving frequency and the natural frequency of an oscillator?
