Instead of working with one extremely long spring, a lab team worked with an extremely large number of separate little springs. The team could exercise freedom and creativity in arranging the many little springs any way they saw fit; they could introduce other pieces of reasonably common equipment, spread out and test ideas over large areas, etc. In as much specificity as possible, explain how a patterned series of ripples – similar to those observed to travel back and forth the long springs– could be generated under these conditions

Under certain conditions, wind blowing past a rectangular speed limit sign can cause the sign to oscillate with a frequency w. (See the figure below and the Video.) Assume that w is a function of the sign width, b, sign height, h, wind velocity, V, air density, p, and an elastic constant, k, for the supporting pole. The constant, k, has dimensions of FL. Develop a suitable set of pi terms for this problem. SPEED LIMIT 40
In Chart, amplitiude on the Y axis is measured in V. The range (maximum Y axis height) can be set anywhere from a few mV to several volts, depending on the stimulus strength. Let's assume you are measuring the amplitude of the force of contraction of a frog gastrocnemius muscle. The twitches range in amplitude for this particular frog from 30 mV to 180 mV. What would be the best range setting to choose from the choices given below? In Chart, amplitiude on the Y axis is measured in V.

A system consisting of Three Identical arcs and two masses is established to be ARC-mass-arc-mass-arc in the horizontal plane. What happens to the symmetrical and antisymmetric mode frequencies observed in the system when this system makes oscillating motion Tuesday in the horizontal plane? Show the modes by drawing a figure on the system. (The masses are identical and 500 g kg. Identical in Springs and has a spring constant of 2250 dyn / cm)
The Newton–Raphson method for finding the stationary point(s) Rsp of a potential energy surface V is based on a Taylor-series expansion around a guess, R0. Similarly, the velocity Verlet algorithm for integrating molecular dynamics trajectories [xt, vt] is based on a Taylor-series expansion around the initial conditions, [x0, v0]. Both of these methods rely strictly on local information about the system. How many derivatives do we need to compute in order to apply them?
The student discovers that for the modeling of the BMMD, it is possible to use the ideal mass-spring system, so the student makes use of the computational simulation masses and springs (https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/masses-and-springs/latest/masses-and-springs_en.html) to establish the relationships between the relevant physical variables of the device. Answer the following questions from the use of the computational simulation in the Lab section, adapt to the conditions of space (zero gravity and zero damping). What happens to the period and frequency of oscillation (do they increase, decrease or remain the same) when increasingly larger masses are measured? Justify What happens to the period if the amplitude of the motion is varied? Justify.
Why is Logger Pro set up to report the time between every other blocking of the Photogate? Why not the time between every block? Using either Graphical Analysis or graph paper, plot a graph of pendulum period vs. amplitude in degrees. Scale each axis from the origin (0,0). Does the period depend on amplitude? Explain. Using either Graphical Analysis or graph paper, plot a graph of pendulum period T vs. lengthl. Scale each axis from the origin (0,0). Does the period appear to depend on length? Using either Graphical Analysis or graph paper, plot the pendulum period vs. mass. Scale each axis from the origin (0,0). Does the period appear to depend on mass? Do you have enough data to answer conclusively? To examine more carefully how the period T depends on the pendulum length l, create the following two additional graphs of the same data: T 2 vs. l and T vs. l2 . Of the three period-length graphs, which is closest to a direct proportion; that is, which plot is most nearly a straight line…
Please can some one explain to the way and the equations that i need to follow in order to solve this quesitonnn Go to a playground where there is a swing. Accelerate the swing and determine the swing time. Then have someone sit on the swing and again determine the swing time. Repeat the attempt, but now let the person stand on the swing. Will the swing time be the same in all trials? Try to hypothesize the reason for any similarity or dissimilarity. How can the hypothesis be tested?Please consider a detailed solution and a good handwriting.THanks in Advance!

Scientists have developed a clever way to measure a mass of virus using a spring. A cantilever beam in the scanning electron microscope image below is like a diving board, except that it is extremely small (a couple of micrometer). The cantilever beam with mass m can oscillate (imagine a vibrating diving board) and it can be modeled as a spring with a spring constant k. What you can measure experimentally is the frequency of oscillation of the cantilever first without the virus (f1) and after the virus had attached itself to the cantilever (f2). (a) Find the mass of virus from f1 and f2 (assume that we don’t know the spring constant k) (b) Suppose the mass of cantilever is 10.0 * 10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.00 * 10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.87 * 10^14 Hz with the virus. What is the mass of the virus?
