A 92-kg man climbs onto a car with worn out shock absorbers and this causes the car to drop down 4.5 cm. As he drives along, he hits a bump, and this starts the car oscillating at an angular frequency of 4.52 rad/s. What is the mass of the car?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the mass of the car can be calculated using the formula: mass = (force of gravity * distance traveled) / (angular frequency^2 * amplitude). Plugging in the given values, we get: mass = (92 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.045 m) / (4.52 rad/s)^2 * 0.045 m) = 890 kg.
