Answer:

Explanation:
We first identify the elements of this simple harmonic motion:
The amplitude A is 8.8cm, because it's the maximum distance the mass can go away from the equilibrium point. In meters, it is equivalent to 0.088m.
The angular frequency ω can be calculated with the formula:

Where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the particle.
Now, since the spring starts stretched at its maximum, the appropriate function to use is the positive cosine in the equation of simple harmonic motion:

Finally, the equation of the motion of the system is:
or

Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
The answer is C, individuals copy works to view at a later time.
The 'Rite of Spring' was composed by Igor Stravinsky.
The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:

The period of the pendulum is given by

where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can calculate the length of the pendulum L:
