Conceptual - mass, period, spring constantconsider a simple harmonic oscillator made of a mass sliding on africtionless surface, and attached to a massless linear spring. which of the following statements are true/false? a. truefalse doubling the mass will halve the period. b. truefalse doubling the amplitude will not change the frequency. c. truefalse doubling the spring constant will double thefrequency. d. truefalse tripling the mass will sextuple the period. e. truefalse halving the amplitude will quadruple the period.

The de broglie relation λ=h/p can be rewritten in terms of the wave number k as p=kℏ. recall that wave number is defined by k=2π/λ. using the fact that λ=v/f, find the wave numbers k1 and k2 corresponding to frequencies f1 and f2. express your answer as two expressions

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame

Tall pacific coast redwood trees can reach heights of about 100 m. if air drag is negligibly small, how fast is a sequola cone moving when it reaches the ground f it dropped from the top of a 100 m tree?
