Simple Harmonic Motion: The position of an object that is oscillating on an ideal spring is given by x = (17.4 cm) cos[(5.46 s-1)t]. Write an expression for the acceleration of the particle as a function of time using the cosine function.

What will be an ideal response?


a = - (519 cm/s2) cos[(5.46 s-1)t]

A surprising demonstration involves dropping an egg from a third-floor window to land on a foam-rubber pad 2 in (5 cm) thick without breaking. If a 56-gram egg falls 12 m, and the foam pad stops the egg in 6.25 ms, by how much is the pad compressed?
