Consider a mass m connected to a horizontal spring with spring constant k. ignore friction between mass and surface. let be the displacement from equilibrium (a) obtain an expression for the speed of the mass as a function of k, m, and the initial position ro and speed (b) use the expression in (a) to find the position as a function of time. (hint: dr = v) (c) comment on this solution.

Amachinist needs to remove a tight fitting pin of material a from a hole in a block made of material b. the machinist heats both the pin and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily. what statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material a to that of material b? a) the situation is not possible, heating block b will shrink the hole in the material as the material expands with increasing temperatureb) material b has the same coefficient of expansion as does material ac) material b has a negative coefficient of expansion and a has a positive coefficient of expansiond) material a has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material be) material b has a greate

Awoman stands a distance d from a loud motor that emits sound uniformly in all directions. the sound intensity at her position is an uncomfortable 2.0×10-3 w/m2. at a distance 2.6 times as far from the motor, what are (a) the sound intensity and (b) the sound intensity level relative to the threshold of hearing?
