Question: A 250 g air-track glider is attached to a spring with spring constant 4.0 N/m. The damping constant due to air resistance is 0.015 kg/s.

A 250 g air-track glider is attached to a spring with spring constant 4.0 N/m. The damping constant due to air resistance is 0.015 kg/s. The glider is pulled out 20 cm from equilibrium and released. How many oscillations will it make during the time in which the amplitude decays to e-1 of its initial value?
