Oscillation amplitude drops to half of its initial value

Reference no: EM13668305

A car and its suspension system act like a mass-spring system with m= 1200kg and k= 58 kN/m. Its worn-out shock absorbers provide a damping constant b= 230 kg/s. The car hits a pothole that sets it oscillating. How many oscillations will it make before the oscillation amplitude drops to half of its initial value?

Effective force constant k of the group of the bungee cords : A pot containing a plant, weighing 10 N is hung from ceiling with a group of bungee cords. If pulled down and released, the pot oscillates vertically by period T= 5s. What is the effective force constant k (in N/m) of the group of the bungee cords?

Distant moon imaginarius has half the diameter of the earth : The distant moon imaginarius has half the diameter of the earth. The free-fall acceleration on the imaginarius is a= 4 m/s^2. What is the ratio of the average mass density of imaginarius to that of earth, Q= p (imaginarius) / p (earth)?

Radar is to coat the plane by an antireflective polymer : A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane by an antireflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 3.10 cm and the index of refraction of the polymer is n = 1.70, how thick would you make the coating? (S..

What is the dissimilarity in the elapsed time son two clocks : A spacecraft flies away from the earth with a speed of 4.90×106 {\rm m/s} relative to the earth and then returns at the same speed. The spacecraft carries an atomic clock that has been carefully synchronized by an identical clock that remains at rest..
