Question

an object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down 5 centimeters from its rest posistion and released if the motion is simple harmonic in nature with a period of π seconds answer the fallowing questions: a. what is the maximum displacement form equillibrium b.what is the time required for one oscillation? c. what is the frequesncy? d. write an equation to model the motion of the object?

Answer 1

I would say:
a) max displacement is 5 since i believe it will keep oscillating until it comes to rest at equilibrium.

b) Time would be the period of pi seconds.

c) not sure..possible 1/pi
d) something of the form y = 5e^-x*cos(2x)

Answer 2

my equation isn't right

Answer 3

close enough hahah thanks!

Answer 4

haha no problem
