At a grocery store, a spring scale (spring constant = 450 N/m) hangs near the produce section.
Question:
At a grocery store, a spring scale (spring constant = 450 N/m) hangs near the produce section. The spring hangs vertically with a 0.250 kg pan suspended from its lower end. Jenna drops a 2.20 kg bag of oranges from a height of 30.0 cm above the pan. The pan and oranges start oscillating vertically in SHM.
(a) What is the velocity of the pan immediately after the oranges land on the pan? Assume a perfectly inelastic collision.
(b) How far is the new equilibrium point of the pan (with oranges) below its position before the oranges were dropped on it?
(c) What is the amplitude of the oscillations?
(d) What is the frequency of the oscillations?

I graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Dalubhasaan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo. I tutored students in classes and out of classes. I use a variety of strategies to tutor students that include: lecture, discussions about the subject matter, problem solving examples using the principles of the subject matter being discussed in class , homework assignments that are directed towards reinforcing what we learn in class , and detailed practice problems help students to master a concept. I also do thorough research on Internet resources or textbooks so that I know what students need to learn in order to master what is being taught in class .
