Simple Harmonic Motion and Introduction to Waves — Homework
State which formula (pendulum or spring) applies before plugging in any numbers.
- 1.Find the period of a 9 m long simple pendulum.
- 2.Find the period of an 8 kg mass on a spring with k=2 N/m.
- 3.Find the frequency of the spring system in the previous problem.
- 4.Explain the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave, naming a real example of each.
- 5.Describe a real simple-harmonic-motion example (a playground swing, a guitar string, a bouncing car suspension) and identify what plays the role of the restoring force.
