Question

Mass on a Spring: A 0.150-kg air track cart is attached to an ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 3.58 N/m and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. What is the period of the oscillations

Answer 1

Answer:

The  period is  $T = 1.286 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the spring is  $m = 0.150 \ kg$

   The spring constant is  $k = 3.58 \ N/m$

   

Generally the  period is mathematically represented as

      $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }$

substituting values

     $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.150}{3.58} }$

      $T = 1.286 \ s$
