Figure 15-29gives, for three situations, the displacements of a pair of simple harmonic oscillators (A and B) that are identical except for phase. For each pair, what phase shift (in radians and in degrees) is needed to shift the curve for A to coincide with the curve for B? Of the many possible answers, choose the shift with the smallest absolute magnitude.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Phase shift needed for A to coincide with B for curve (a) is πrad or 180°.

b) Phase shift needed for A to coincide with B for curve (b) is π2or 90°.

c) Phase shift needed for A to coincide with B for curve (c) is -π2rad or -90°.

Step by step solution

01

The given data 

From the problem figure 15-29 is the graphs of x versus t.

02

Understanding the concept of the phase shift

We observe the given graphs and we can see the positions of curve A for B. Then we can determine by how many angles should the curve needs to shift to coincide with B.

03

Calculation of phase shift for curve (a)

a)

In graph (a) A and B have opposite phase, so for curve A needs to shift by πrador180° to coincide with B.

04

Calculation of phase shift for curve (b)

b)

In graph (b) curve A lags behind curve B by π2radians, therefore curve A needs to shift by π2rad or90° to coincide with B.

05

Calculation of phase shift for curve (c)

c)

In graph (c) curve A leads curve B by π2rad, therefore curve A needs to shift by -π2rador-90°to coincide with B.

A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a 0.50 kgblock attached to a spring. The block slides back and forth along a straight line on a frictionless surface with equilibrium point x=0. At t=0the block is at x=0and moving in the positive x direction. A graph of the magnitude of the net forceF→on the block as a function of its position is shown in Fig. 15-55. The vertical scale is set by FS=75.0N. What are (a) the amplitude and (b) the period of the motion, (c) the magnitude of the maximum acceleration, and (d) the maximum kinetic energy?

In Fig. 15-64, ademolition ball swings from the end of a crane. The length of the swinging segment of cable is 17. (a) Find the period of the swinging, assuming that the system can be treated as a simple pendulum. (b) Does the period depend on the ball’s mass?

A block is in SHM on the end of a spring, with position given by x=xmcos(Ӭt+ϕ). Ifϕ=π/5rad, then at t = 0what percentage of the total mechanical energy is potential energy?

You are to complete Figure 15-22a so that it is a plot of velocity v versus time t for the spring–block 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’s velocity is given byv=-vmsin(Ӭt+ϕ), what is the value ofϕ? Make it positive, and if you cannot specify the value (such as+π/2rad), then give a range of values (such as between 0 andπ/2rad).

You are to build the oscillation transfer device shown in Fig.15-27. It consists of two spring–block systems hanging from a flexible rod. When the spring of system is stretched and then released, the resulting SHM of system at frequency oscillates the rod. The rod then exerts a driving force on system 2, at the same frequency f1. You can choose from four springs with spring constants k of 1600,1500,1400, and 1200 N/m, and four blocks with masses m of 800,500,400, and 200 kg. Mentally determine which spring should go with which block in each of the two systems to maximize the amplitude of oscillations in system 2.
