Review. A dock with a brass pendulum has a period of 1.000 s at 20.0C. If the temperature increases to 30.0C, (a) by how much does the period change and (b) how much time does the clock gain or lose in one week?
One type of BB gun uses a spring-driven plunger to blow the BB from its barrel. (a) Calculate the force constant of its plunger’s spring if you must compress it 0.150 m to drive the 0.0500-kg plunger to a top speed of 20.0 m/s. (b) What force must be exerted to compress the spring?
Give an example of a damped harmonic oscillator. (They are more common than undamped or simple harmonic oscillators.)
How would a car bounce after a bump under each of these conditions? (a) overdamping (b) underdamping (c) critical damping
A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time. (i) Suppose a grandfather clock is calibrated correctly and then a mischievous child slides the bob of the pendulum downward on the oscillating rod. Does the grandfather clock run (a) slow, (b) fast, or (c) correctly? (ii) Suppose the grandfather clock is calibrated correctly at sea level and is then taken to the top of a very tall mountain. Does the grandfather clock run (a) slow, (b) fast, or (c) correctly?
Review. A light spring has unstressed length 15.5 cm. It is described by Hookes law with spring constant 4.30 N/m. One end of the horizontal spring is held on a fixed vertical axle, and the other end is attached to a puck of mass m that can mow without friction over a horizontal surface. The puck is set into motion in a circle with a period of 1.30 s. (a) Find the extension of the spring x as it depends on m. Evaluate x for (b) m = 0.070 0 kg. (c) m = 0.140 kg, (d) m = 0.180 kg, and (e) m = 0.190 kg. (f) Describe the pattern of variation of x as it depends on m.

Figure 15.46 This child’s toy relies on springs to keep infants entertained. (credit: By Humboldthead, Flickr) The device pictured in Figure 16.46 entertains infants while keeping them from wandering. The child bounces in a harness suspended from a door frame by a spring constant. (a) If the spring stretches 0.250 m while supporting an 8.0—kg child, what is its spring constant? (b) What is the time for one complete bounce of this child? (c) What is the child's maximum velocity if the amplitude of her bounce is 0.200 m?
A 50.0-g object connected to a spring with a force constant of 35.0 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 4.00 cm on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Find (a) the total energy of the system and (b) the speed of the object when its position is 1.00 cm. Find (c) the kinetic energy and (d) the potential energy when its position is 3.00 cm.
The grandfather clock in the opening storyline depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time.
