Social Network Research While Facebook and LinkedIn are well established networking sites, researchers are just beginning to figure out and experiment with how to conduct scholarly research using these technologies. A journal titled, "Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking" focuses on this topic, as well as other technology related issues. Perhaps this is a journal to which you could submit your final assignment for publication. For this discussion, please watch, "TED Talks: Nicholas Christakis --The Hidden Influence of Social Networks." The speaker provides examples and stories regarding how social networks are being studied. Please answer the following questions for your initial post: How can you apply networking research to the workplace? How does social networking impact global organizations and our work as IO psychologists? What are some research questions involving networking and/or social networking that you might want to look into at some point? Now, check out The LINKS Center for Social Network Analysis (https://sites.google.com/site/uklinkscenter/home(Links to an external site.)). Click on "Research" and identify at least one article that is of interest to you (note that there are PDF versions for almost every article). Share the article title and major ideas in your post. Propose additional areas of research or potential research questions in the area of social network analysis that are relevant to a peer's post and/or interests. Utilize at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article as a resource. Your post should be at least 300 words. HW15 Handout Name: ___________________ 1. A spring-mass system has a period of 2.1 s. At t = 0 it is at rest at x = -15 cm. Its equilibrium position is x = 0. a. Give symbolic equations for the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time. . b. Find the maximum speed of the mass? At what t does this occur? 2.A spring with a force constant of 70 N/mis hung from the ceiling. A block of mass 0.27 kg is hung from it and set in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 8 cm. What is the maximum speed of the mass? Watch your units! HW15 Handout Name: ___________________ 3. An horizontal spring-mass system on a frictionless surface consists of an 0.4 kg and a spring with constant 60 N/m. The mass has a speed of 0.70 m/s when it is located 5 cm from the unstrained length. a. What is the total mechanical energy of this system? Hint: 5 cm is not the amplitude! b. What is the greatest speed attained by the block during its oscillation? 4. A non-uniform picture frame with a mass of 3 kg is suspended from a nail located 10 cm from its center of mass. When it oscillates at a small amplitude (as a physical pendulum), one complete cycle takes 2.6 s. Find the moment of inertia of the picture frame about the nail. HW15 Handout Name: ___________________ 5. A spring-mass oscillator is made with an 0.4 kg mass. The spring has a damping constant of 0.01 kg/s. The oscillator completes a cycle every 2.5 s. a. By approximately what percentage does its mechanical energy decrease in each cycle? Show work! a) 4% b) 5% c) 6% d) 7% e) 8% b. Assuming the same mass and period, what damping constant would result in a 10% loss of energy per cycle?
