An iron block having mass m is attached to a massless spring. This spring-mass system is making a simple harmonic motion (SHM) having amplitude of 25.0 cm and period of 3.20 s on the frictionless surface through the±x-direction. When the block is displaced by amount of 16.0 cm from its equilibrium position, find (a) the speed and (b) the acceleration of the block.

Review. A lobstermans buoy is a solid wooden cylinder of radius r and mass M. It is weighted at one end so that it floats upright in calm seawater, having density . A passing shark tugs on the slack rope mooring the buoy to a lobster trap, pulling the buoy down a distance x from its equilibrium position and releasing it. (a) Show that the buoy will execute simple harmonic motion if the resistive effects of the water are ignored. (b) Determine the period of the oscillations.
Four people, each with a mass of 72.4 kg, are in a car with a mass of 1 130 kg. An earthquake strikes. The vertical oscillations of the ground surface make the car bounce up and down on its suspension springs, but the driver manages to pull off the road and stop. When the frequency of the shaking is 1.80 Hz, the car exhibits a maximum amplitude of vibration. The earthquake ends, and the four people leave the car as fast as they can. By what distance docs the cars undamaged suspension lift the cars body as the people get out?
Consider the damped oscillator illustrated in Figure 15.19. The mass of the object is 375 g, the spring constant is 100 N/m, and b = 0.100 N s/m. (a) Over what time interval does the amplitude drop to half its initial value? (b) What If? Over what time interval does the mechanical energy drop to half its initial value?
