A block sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a horizontal spring with role="math" localid="1657267407759" . Let be the displacement of the block from the position at which the spring is unstretched . At the block passes through with a speed of in the positive direction. What are the (a) frequency and (b) amplitude of the block鈥檚 motion? (c) Write an expression foras a function of time.
A block weighing 10.0 Nis attached to the lower end of a vertical spring (), 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?
The suspension system of aautomobile 鈥渟ags鈥when the chassis is placed on it. Also, the oscillation amplitude decreases by 50% each cycle.
A (hypothetical) large slingshot is stretched 2.30 to launch a 170g projectile with speed sufficient to escape from Earth (11.2km/s). Assume the elastic bands of the slingshot obey Hooke鈥檚 law. (a) What is the spring constant of the device if all the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy? (b) Assume that an average person can exert a force of 490 N. How many people are required to stretch the elastic bands?
A block of mass, at rest on a horizontal frictionless table, is attached to a rigid support by a spring of constant. A bullet of massand velocityof magnitudstrikes and is embedded in the block (SeeFigure). Assuming the compression of the spring is negligible until the bullet is embedded.
(a) Determine the speed of the block immediately after the collision and
(b) Determine the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion.
