Answer:
0.3619sec
Explanation:
Given that
Mass,m=148 g
Length,L=13 cm
Velocity,u'(0)=10 cm/s
We have to find the position u of the mass at any time t
We know that
Where 
u(0)=0
Substitute the value
Substitute u'(0)=10
Substitute the values
Period =T = 2π/8.68
After half period
π/8.68 it returns to equilibruim
π/8.68 = 0.3619sec
Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ... "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source.
Let the unknown distance be xmiles
x/39-x/72=11hr
72x-39x/2808=11hr
33x/2808=11
33x= 30888
x=936miles
U can substitue back to check
at speed of 72mph, he would need 936/72=13hrs
at speed of 39mph, he would need 936/39=24hr
the difference is 24-13=11
