Understanding the concept of motion

Using the relation between angular velocity and spring constant, we can find the angular velocity. Then, using this angular velocity, position function, and velocity function, we can find the amplitude of the oscillations, position, and velocity of the block at t=0s.

Formula:

Angular frequency of a body in oscillation:

Ó¬=km ......(i)

The general expression for the velocity of motion:

x=xmcosÓ¬t+Ï• ......(ii)

The general expression for the velocity of motion:

v=-xmÓ¬sinÓ¬t+Ï• ......(iii)

03

a) Calculation of amplitude

Dividing equation (iii) by (ii), we get

vx=xmӬsinӬt+ϕxmcosӬt+ϕvx=-ӬtanӬt+ϕӬt+ϕ=tan-1-vӬx

Using equation (i) and the given values, the angular frequency can be given as:

Ó¬=100N/m2.00kg=7.07rad/s

Again,

Ó¬t+Ï•=tan-1--3.415ms7.07rads0.129m=-1.31rad

Hence, using the above value in equation (ii) and x=0.129m, we get

0.129m=xmcos-1.31xm=0.500m

Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillations is 0.50m

04

b) Calculation of position at t=0s

At t=1.00sand Ó¬=7.07radsusing these values in equation (a), we get

Ï•=-7.38rad

From equation (ii), the position can be found as

x0=xmcosϕ=0.500mcos-7.38rad=-0.228m

Therefore, the position of the block at t=0s is -0.228m

05

c) Calculation of velocity at t=0s

Using equation (iii) and the valuest=0s,Ï•=-8.38rad,xm=0.500m, we get,

v0=-0.500mÓ¬sin-7.38rad=3.15m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the block at t=0sis 3.15ms.
