If the phase angle for a block–spring system in SHM is Ï€/6and the block’s position is given bylocalid="1655098514909" x=xmcos(Ó¬³Ù/Ï•), what is the ratio of the kinetic energy to the potential energy at timet=0?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy att=0is13

Step by step solution

01

The given data

1) Phase angle for the system,ϕ=π6or30°

2) Time,t=0

02

Understanding the concept of energy

Using the given angle, we can find the displacement and velocity functions. Using these functions in the equations of kinetic and potential energy, we can find the ratio between them.

Formulae:

The general expression for displacement,x=AcosÓ¬t+Ï•........i

The general expression for velocity,v=Ó¬AsinÓ¬t+Ï•.............ii

Frequency of oscillation,Ó¬=KM..........iii

Kinetic energy of a body in motion,KE=12Mv2.............iv

Potential energy of a body in motion,PE=12Kx2...............v

03

Calculation of ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy

At, t=0andϕ=π6=30°

x=Acos30............viV=AÓ¬sin30..........v

Substituting equations (vi) & (vii) in equation (iv), we get

KE=12MAÓ¬sin302=12MA2Ó¬20.25

Similarly substituting equations (vi) & (vii) in equation (v), we get

PE=12kAcos302=12kA20.75=12Ó¬2MA20.75

The ratio of KE to PE will be,

KEPE=12MA2Ó¬20.2512Ó¬2MA20.75=13

Hence, the value of the ratio is13.
