Question

A mass attached to a horizontal spring is pulled to the right at t=0. The mass passes x=10 cm at t=0.3s with a velocity. What is
a) frequency
b)amplitude
c) phase constant

Answer 1

frequency = cycles/ second,
so one full cycle is having the spring move from the right, to the left then back to the right.
so if it takes the spring .3 seconds to go 10cm how long will it take....

wait, is there not any more information to the question?

Answer 2

The velocity is 85.7cm/s at t=0.3

Answer 3

so at
t=0
v=0
x=0

and at
t=0.3
v=85.7
x=10

ya?

Answer 4

no x isn't zero at t=0 it's pulled to the right at some x

Answer 5

i'll need a minute.. i'm still trying to figure out 'frequency'

Answer 6

ok , i get it, you guys are working with wave lengths right now.. so
frequency = speed / length

Answer 7

Please help.

Answer 8

@allykat you around? i'll help you with this, but I got like 3 minutes, so we gotta be quick!
