5 0

- (spring constant) (new length of spring - original length of spring) = Force applied to spring.
that is
-kx=F

Did you only have how far the cart traveled? No mass or acceleration or speed or time taken?

You dip your finger into a pan of water twice each second, producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.15 m. Determine t

PIT_PIT [208]

Frequency = rate of sploosh = 2 per second = 2 Hz.

Period = ( 1/frequency ) = 1/2 second

Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (0.15m) x ( 2/sec) = 0.075 m/s .
