... Conceptual Example 8 Changing the Mass of a Simple Harmonic Oscilator The box rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is stretched to x=A and released. When the box is passing through x=0, a second box of the same mass is attached to it. Discuss what happens to the (a) maximum speed ...

laws of motion
... There is NO motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. By Newton’s First Law of Motion, the forces in this direction should balance each other. Hence the normal reaction R = mg cos q The normal reaction depends on the weight of the object and also it decreases with the inclination ...

... Newton’s Laws Question: You push a heavy car by hand. The car, in turn, pushes back with an opposite but equal force on you. Doesn’t this mean the forces cancel one another, making acceleration impossible? Why or why not? ⇒ No. You can’t cancel a force exerted on the car with a force exerted on you. ...

Forces Notes
... The mass (m) of an object is a measure of how much matter there is in the object. This is measured in kilograms (kg) and is constant no matter where an object is. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The weight (W) of an object is a measure of the force of a planet’s gravity on ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
