- A block attached to a horizontal spring oscillates on a frictionless surface, the x-t graph of the block is shown below. What is the frequency of the oscillation, in Hz? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardYou construct a dart gun using a spring that has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The dart you wish to launch has a mass of 0.3 kg, and compression length of the spring you design to be 0.4m. If you load and fire this dart from the dart gun, how fast will the dart's launch velocity be? Give your answer in units of m/s, however do not include the units explicitly in your answer. If you include units, the answer will be counted wrong.arrow_forwardlooking at the graph determine the spring constant of your spring (in Nmm^-1) by finding the gradient.arrow_forward
