We have two different vertical mass-spring systems, as shown in the figure below.(a). What is the frequency of system A? What is the first time at which the mass has maximum speed whiletraveling in the upward direction?(b). What is the period of system B? What is the first time at which the energy is entirely potential?(c). Given that the mass is the same in both systems, what is the ratio of their spring constants? That iswhat is kA/kB?
PLEASE ANSWER ON PAPER!!!
The difference in length of a spring on a pogo stick from its non-compressed length when a teenager is jumping on it after θ seconds can be described by the function f(θ)= 2sinθ + √3
Part A: Determine all values where the pogo stick's spring will be equal to its non-compressed length.
Part B: If the angle was doubled, that is θ became 2θ, what are the solutions in the interval [0, 2π)? How do these compare to the original function?
Part C: A toddler is jumping on another pogo stick whose length of their spring can be represented by the function g(θ)= 1 - cos2 θ + √3 At what times are the springs from the original pogo stick and the toddler's pogo stick lengths equal?
