Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

A 16-lb weight is attached to a frictionless spring, that in turn is suspendedfrom the ceiling. The weight stretches the spring ft and comes to rest in itsequilibrium position. The weight is then pushed up 1 foot and released with anupward velocity of 6 ft/sec. Find the initial value problem that describes the motion ofthe weight, and solve it, writing your solution in the form u(t) = R cos( ω0t - δ )
