A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block (m=2.00kg), a spring (k=10.0N/m), and a damping force (F=-bv). Initially, it oscillates with amplitude of25.0cm; because of the damping, the amplitude falls to three-fourths of this initial value at the completion of four oscillations. (a) What is the value of b? (b) How much energy has been 鈥渓ost鈥 during these four oscillations?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The value of b is 0.102 kg/s.
  2. The energy lost during 4 oscillationsis 0.137J .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • The spring constant is, k=10N/m.
  • Mass of the block isM=2.00kg.
  • The amplitude of oscillation is,xm=25cmor0.25m.
  • Because of damping, x=34xm.

Understanding the concept of damped oscillations

We can find the damping constant using the formula for the displacement of the damped oscillator and period of SHM. Using this constant and damping amplitude, we can find the energy at t=4T. From this, we can find the energy lost during 4 oscillations.

Formulae:

The displacement equation of the damped oscillations,x=xme-bt2m(i)

The period of oscillation for SHM,T=2mk(ii)

The potential energy of the system, (PE)=12kx2(iii)

03

a) Calculation of the damped constant

Using the displacement equation (i), we get

e-bt2m=34(x=34xm)

Since,t=4T,

e-b(4T)2m=34(iv)

The period of oscillation for SHM using equation (ii)is given as:

T=2210=2.81s

Then, substituting the value of time period in equation (iv), we get

e-b(42.81)2m=34b(42.81)2m=In43b=In43(2m)11.24=0.288(2)(2)11.24=0.102kg/s

Therefore, the value of b is 0.102 kg/s .

04

b) Calculation of lost energy during 4 oscillations

The initial energy of the system is,

E=P.E=12kx2m=12(10.0N/m)(0.250m)2 =0.313J

At role="math" localid="1657268926058" t=4T,the energy of the damped system is given as;

E'=12k34xm2(x=34xm)=916(0.313)J=0.176J

The energy lost during 4 oscillations is,

E-E'=0.313J-0.176J=0.137J

Therefore, the energy lost during 4 oscillations is 0.137 J .

Figure below gives the position of a 20 gblock oscillating in SHM on the end of a spring. The horizontal axis scale is set byts=40.0ms.

  1. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block?
  2. What is the number of times per second that maximum is reached? (Hint: Measuring a slope will probably not be very accurate. Find another approach.)

Which of the following relationships between the acceleration a and the displacement x of a particle involve SHM: (a) a=0.5x, (b) a=400x2, (c) a=20x, (d)a=-3x2?

A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly鈥檚 thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass mto a fly with mass2.5m?

A block weighing 10.0 Nis attached to the lower end of a vertical spring (k=200.0N/m), the other end of which is attached to a ceiling. The block oscillates vertically and has a kinetic energy of 2.00 Jas it passes through the point at which the spring is unstretched. (a) What is the period of the oscillation? (b) Use the law of conservation of energy to determine the maximum distance the block moves both above and below the point at which the spring is unstretched. (These are not necessarily the same.) (c) What is the amplitude of the oscillation? (d) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block as it oscillates?

You are to complete Figure 15-22a so that it is a plot of velocity v versus time t for the spring鈥揵lock oscillator that is shown in Figure 15-22b for t=0. (a) In Fig.15-22a, at which lettered point or in what region between the points should the (vertical) v axis intersect the t axis? (For example, should it intersect at point A, or maybe in the region between points A and B?) (b) If the block鈥檚 velocity is given byv=-vmsin(t+), what is the value of? Make it positive, and if you cannot specify the value (such as+/2rad), then give a range of values (such as between 0 and/2rad).
