Step by step solution

01

The given data 

The graph of position versus time for SHM of spring-box system is given.

02

Understanding the concept of SHM of a particle

Using the formula for angular frequency which is related to spring constant and mass, we can rank the curves. From the spring鈥檚 potential energy formula, we can rank the curves, and from the formula of kinetic energy, we can rank the curves for kinetic energy. We can also rank the speed of the box. For ranking maximum kinetic energy, we consider the amplitude of the curves.

Formulae:

The angular frequency of a body in SHM,=km (i)

The potential energy of a spring system,U=12kx2 (ii)

The kinetic energy of a body in SHM, K.E=12mv2 (iii)

03

Calculation of the ranking of curves according to the system’s angular frequency

a)

As we know the mass of the box and the spring constant is the same for the same oscillatory system while doing the experiment, therefore, the angular frequency will be the same for these curves considering equation (i).

Hence, ranking of angular frequencies is 1=2=3.

04

Calculation of the ranking of curves according to potential energy of the spring

b)

From equation (ii), we can see that the potential energy of the spring depends on the displacement.

Again, in the graph at t = 0 we get the displacement of curve 3 is greater than the other two. The displacements of curve 1 and 2 are same.

Hence, the ranking of potential energies is U3>U2=U1.

05

Calculation of the ranking of curves according to box’s kinetic energy

c)

Slope of the curves gives the velocity, v=xt

From the graph, the rank of the velocities at t = 0 can be given as:v1>v2>v3.

Therefore, the ranking of kinetic energies using equation (iii) is K.E1>K.E2>K.E3.

06

Calculation of the ranking of curves according to box’s speed

d)

From part (c), we have seen that ranking of velocities as:v1>v2>v3 , and since all have same direction the ranking of speed is same as the velocities at t = 0.

Therefore, the ranking of speed is v1>v2>v3.

07

Calculation of the ranking of curves according to maximum kinetic energy of the box

e)

The kinetic energy is proportional to the amplitude of the curve, so from the graph we get,

The amplitude of the curves as:1>3>2 .

The ranking of maximum kinetic energies is K.Emax1>K.Emax3>K.Emax2.

The 3.00 kgcube in Figure 15-47 has edge lengths d=6.00 cmand is mounted on an axle through its center. A spring (k=1200 N/m)connects the cube鈥檚 upper corner to a rigid wall. Initially the spring is at its rest length. If the cube is rotated 30 and released, what is the period of the resulting SHM?

Question: A physical pendulum has a center of oscillation at distance 2L/3 from its point of suspension. Show that the distance between the point of suspension and the center of oscillation for a physical pendulum of any form is 1/mh , where l is the rotational inertia of the pendulum about pointO,his the distance of center of mass from the pivot pointOand m is the mass of the pendulum.

A physical pendulum consists of a meter stick that is pivoted at a small hole drilled through the stick a distanced from the50cmmark. The period of oscillation is2.5s. Findd.

A uniform circular disk whose radius R is 12.6 cmis suspended as a physical pendulum from a point on its rim. (a) What is its period? (b) At what radial distance r < Ris there a pivot point that gives the same period?

The center of oscillation of a physical pendulum has this interesting property: If an impulse (assumed horizontal and in the plane of oscillation) acts at the center of oscillation, no oscillations are felt at the point of support. Baseball players (and players of many other sports) know that unless the ball hits the bat at this point (called the 鈥渟weet spot鈥 by athletes), the oscillations due to the impact will sting their hands. To prove this property, let the stick in Fig. simulate a baseball bat. Suppose that a horizontal force F(due to impact with the ball) acts toward the right at P, the center of oscillation. The batter is assumed to hold the bat at O, the pivot point of the stick. (a) What acceleration does the point O undergo as a result ofF? (b) What angular acceleration is produced by Fabout the center of mass of the stick? (c) As a result of the angular acceleration in (b), what linear acceleration does point O undergo? (d) Considering the magnitudes and directions of the accelerations in (a) and (c), convince yourself that P is indeed the 鈥渟weet spot.
