A vertical spring-mass system undergoes damped oscillations due to air resistance. The spring constant is 2.65 ✕ 104 N/m and the mass at the end of the spring is 11.7 kg. (a) If the damping coefficient is b = 4.50 N · s/m, what is the frequency of the oscillator? Hz

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
