Question

A mass sits on a platform which oscillates vertically in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 5 Hz. Show that the mass loses contact with the platform when the amplitude exceeds 1 cm. (Assume g 9.8 m/s2.) Hints: The mass loses contact with the platform if the downward acceleration of the platform exceeds g. To keep the mat i.e., choose x = A cos ω0t. h simple, choose a zero phase factorPlease help with clear steps so I can work through it myself! Thank you very much!

    i have some physics questions. hopefully you can answer these all please. A block with mass m = 2.0-kg attached to the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oscillation period is T = 5.5-s and the oscillation amplitude is A = 13.8-cm. When the spring is unstretched the block sits at a distance L = 2.2-m from a wall. Suppose we snap the spring at the very moment the block passes through...

    please answer the following questions so I can understand, thank you very much! A mass, m, is attached to a massless string of length l; the other end of the string is attached to a rigid and frictionless support. While keeping the string taut, the mass is raised to a height h (see diagram) and released. Under the force of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s), the motion of the mass follows the dashed line (i.e., it's a pendulum). (a) Draw...
