A 0.430 kg mass is oscillating
on a spring of spring constant
85.0 N/m. Find the frequency
of the oscillation.
(Unit = Hz)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Simple Harmonic Motion

Period of a Spring Formula:

m is mass (in kg)k is spring constant (in N/m)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[Given] m = 0.430 kg

[Given[ k = 85.0 N/m

[Solve] T

Step 2: Find Oscillation

Substitute in variables [Period of a Spring Formula]:                                     Evaluate:

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
