The springs of a 1700-kg car compress 5.0 mm when its 66-kg driver gets into the driver seat. If the car goes over a bump, what will be the frequency of oscillations?

The  frequency of oscillations is 7 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

mass of car, = 1700 kg

mass of driver, = 66 kg

compression of the spring, x = 5mm = 0.005 m

The frequency of the oscillation is given as;

where;

k is force constant

m is the total mass of the car and the driver

m = 1700 kg + 66 kg = 1766 kg

Weight of the car and the driver;

W = mg

W = 1766 x 9.8

W = 17306.8 N

Apply hook's law, to determine the force constant;

F = kx

W = F

Thus, k = W/x

k = 17306.8 / 0.005

k = 3461360 N/m

Now, calculate the frequency

Therefore, the  frequency of oscillations is 7 Hz

answer: 31, 5556. 952 seconds

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
