- The motion of a ball falling through the atmosphere, or a model rocket being launched up into the atmosphere are both excellent examples of Newton’s 1st law of motion.
- Riding a bicycle is a good example of Newton’s 2nd law of motion.In this example, the bicycle is the mass. The leg muscles pushing on the pedals of the bicycle is the force.
- You hit a wall with a certain amount of force, and the wall returns that same amount of force. This is an example of Newton’s 3rd law of motion
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force from Hook's law as well as the definition of the period provided by the same definition.
We know that the Force can be defined as
Where
k = Spring constant
x = Displacement
g = Gravity
m = mass
At the same time the period of a spring mass system is defined as
Where
m = Mass
k = Spring constant
Our values are given as,
m = 0.404kg
x = 0.666m
Replacing to find the value of the Spring constant we have that
Now using the formula of the period we know that
Finally, if the oscillation was 0.359m
The maximum height will be determined by the total length of that oscillation being equivalent to
