A spring of negligible mass stretches 3.00 cm from its relaxed length when a force of 7.50 N is applied. A 0.500-kg particle rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to the free end of the spring. The particle is displaced from the origin to x = 5.00 cm and released from rest at t = 0. What are the angular frequency w, the frequency, and the period of the motion?

ω = 22.36 Hz

f = 3.56 Hz

T = 0.28 s.      

Explanation:

a) The angular frequency (ω), can be calculated using the following equation:

Where:

k: is the spring constant = F/x

m: is the mass of the particle = 0.500 kg

F: is the force applied = 7.50 N      

x: is the displacement = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m            

Therefore, the angular frequency of the motion is 22.36 Hz.

b) To find the frequency (f) we can use the next equation:

Hence, the frequency of the motion is 3.56 Hz.

c) The period (T) is equal to:

Therefore, the period of the motion is 0.28 s.

I hope it helps you!

you get 2.3=1.21*\frac{a}2 or 4.6=1.21a or a=3.802 (b)
