When a guitar string plays the note “A,” the string vibrates at . What is the period of the vibration?
The amplitude of an oscillator decreases to 36.8% of its initial value in 10.0 s. What is the value of the time constant?
The two blocks in FIGURE P15.52 oscillate on a frictionless surface with a period of . The upper block just begins to slip when the amplitude is increased to . What is the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks?
FIGURE P15.52
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?
A block oscillating on a spring has an amplitude of . What will the amplitude be if the total energy is doubled? Explain.
