Question

1. A famous flight attendant is reminiscing her Gen Physics 2 classes way back in her college days. After a while, she asks her sister this question, “what is the frequency of the wave if it has a wavelength of 1000 cm and a speed of 300 m/s”? If you are the sister, what will be your answer?

2. Mang Juan connected a spring to a wall, mounted horizontally. Juana his daughter pulls the spring to the right stretching the spring by 30 cm. If the pulling force exerted on the spring is 90 N, calculate the spring constant of the spring.

3. Kho Vhid made his own simple pendulum. He hangs it on the ceiling and watches it as it moves. He observes that his pendulum makes 200 complete swings in a minute. Calculate the length of his simple pendulum. 

4. Christine Karera hangs a spring and it oscillates at a frequency of 60 cycles in a minute when an object is attached to it. Calculate the mass of the object if the spring constant is 250 N/m. Show your formula transformation.

5. Solve for the frequency of a vibrating pendulum if it has a length of 2 m. What will be its period? If you disregard the length provided (2m), what will be the length of the pendulum if period (T) is given with a value of 3 seconds? Show your formula transformation.
