A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple
harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm . If the frequency
is low, the penny rides up and down without difficulty. If the
frequency is steadily increased, there comes a point at which the
penny leaves the surface
a. At what point in the cycle does the penny first lose contact
with the piston?
b. What is the maximum frequency for which the penny just
barely remains in place for the full cycle?
shows a position-versus-time graph for a particle in SHM.
a. What is the phase constant ? Explain.
b. What is the phase of the particle at each of the three numbered points on the graph?

shows a position-versus-time graph for a particle in SHM. What are (a) the amplitude , (b) the angular frequency , and the phase constant

A block is attached to a spring with spring constant . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives its a speed of .
What are
a. The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?
b. The block's speed at the point where ?
An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the mark and the mark on the track. The glider completes oscillations in . What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) angular frequency, (d) amplitude, and (e) maximum speed of the glider?
