G In a lab experiment, you are given a spring with a spring constant of 15 N/m. What mass would you suspend on the spring to have an oscillation period of 0.97 s when in SHM

0.356kg

The period, T, of a mass on a spring of spring constant, k, in simple harmonic motion can be calculated as follows;

T = 2π         --------------------(i)

Where;

m = mass

From the question;

T = 0.97s

k = 15N/m

Taking π = 3.142 and substituting the values of T and k into equation (i) as follows;

0.97 = 2 x 3.142 x

0.97 = 6.284 x

=

0.154 =

Square both sides

0.154² =

0.0237 =

m = 0.356

Therefore, the mass that could be suspended on the spring to have an oscillation period of 0.97s when in SHM is 0.356kg

what is the question?

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
