A mass attached to a spring vibrates 15 times in 22.23 seconds. What is the linear frequency (in Hertz) of the mass?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Frequency is times/second, so 15/22.23 I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also! I have a quick question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when looking at a simple harmonics graph, how would you calculate the maximum velocity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vmax is the slope of the graph of position vs time as it crosses the equilibrium position

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find potential energy at a point where the object changes direction. At the point where vel. is max, all of this energy will be kinetic. Use kinetic formula to solve for max. vel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh eek.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't see the image.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( oh well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another error, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. that's alright. so I wouldn't be able to do it with just the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

from a max peak to a min peak?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could do it like stan said also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, wonderful thank you so much!
