You are watching an old, rickety bridge being detonated, making way for a newer, safer, design.
You see the bridge detonate first and you hear the sound of the explosion four seconds later. How far away from the bridge were you standing? Assume the speed of sound is 345 m/s and constant (that is, vf = vi).
A block of mass m = 249 grams oscillates to the left and right with negligible friction on the end of an ideal spring with a spring constant of 117 N/m. At the time t = O, the block is a distance 0.145 m to the right of the equilibrium position and it is moving to the right with a speed of 3.1 ms. What is the velocity of the block (in units of meters per second) at the time when t = 0.129 seconds? The sign (positive or negative) of your answer is important. For the purposes of this question, velocity pointing to the right is positive and a velocity to the left is negative.

a.
1.58 s
b.
2.00 s
c.
