Spring Motion (See Exercise 15.) A spring with spring constant k = 2 and a 1-unit mass m attached to it is stretched and then allowed to come to rest.
(a) If the spring is stretched
ft and released, what are the amplitude, period, and frequency of the resulting oscillatory motion?
(b) What is the equation of the motion?
Spring Motion The formula for the up and down motion of a weight on a spring is given by
If the spring constant k is 4, what mass m must be used to produce a period of 1 sec?

- Pigeon Flight Repeat Exercise 13, but assume a pigeon needs 10/9 as much energy to fly over water as over land. Pigeon Flight Homing pigeons avoid flying over large bodies of water, preferring to fly around them instead.One possible explanation is the fact that extra energy is required to fly over water because air pressure drops over water in the daytime. Assume that a pigeon released from a boat 1 mile from the shore of a lake point B in the figure files first to point P on the shore and then along the straight edge of the lake to reach its home at L. If L is 2 miles from point A, the point on the shore closest to the boat and if a pigeon need 4/3 as much energy per mile to fly over water as over land. Find the location of point P, which minimizes energy used.arrow_forwardForce If you have ever ridden on a chair lift at a ski area and had it stop, you know that the chair will pull down on the cable, dropping you down to a lower height than when the chair is in motion. Figure 19 shows a gondola that is stopped. Find the magnitude of the tension in the cable toward each end of the cable if the total weight of the gondola and its occupants is 1,850 pounds.arrow_forward
