A block holding a ringing tuning fork oscillates back and forth, attached to a wall by a spring of spring on a horizontal, frictionless surface, with amplitude 17 cm. The mass of the tuning fork and block together is 0.75 kg. An observer who is situated so that the block’s direction of motion is either directly towards or away from him notes that the frequency he hears varies between 174 and 178 Hz. What is the period of motion of the block? The speed of sound at the time of the experiment is 340 m/s.
A. Cannot do without knowing the spring constant.
B. 0.28 s
C. 0.14 s
D. 0.044 s
E. 0.022 s
B. 0.28 s

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. You are driving 5 ft or so behind a pickup truck (don’t actually try such a stupid tailgating stunt, of course!). A jostled crate tips off the back of the truck with only a very small backward velocity. The crate will not hit your car until after it hits the road, regardless of your speed. 2. A person standing in the cabin of a jet plane drops a coin. This coin hits the floor of the cabin at a point directly below where it was dropped (as seen in the cabin) no matter how fast the plane is moving. 3. An orbiting satellite experiences no forces other than the force of gravity. It therefore exhibits simple projectile motion.
The earth’s rotation (A) increases, (B) decreases, or (C) does not affect its gravitational binding energy.
A. increases B. decreases C. does not affect its gravitational binding energy
