91Ó°ÊÓ

The displacement (from equilibrium) of a particle executing simple harmonic motion may be eithery=AsinÓ¬tory=Asin(Ó¬t+Ï•)depending on our choice of time origin. Show that the average of the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m(over a period of the motion) is the same for the two formulas (as it must be since both describe the same physical motion). Find the average value of the kinetic energy for thesin(Ó¬t+Ï•)case in two ways:

(a) By selecting the integration limits (as you may by Problem 4.1) so that a change of variable reduces the integral to thecase.

(b) By expandingsin(Ó¬t+Ï•)by the trigonometric addition formulas and using (5.2) to write the average values.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is proved that the average of the kinetic energy of a particle is the same for the two formulas, and the average kinetic energy by selecting the integration limits so that a change of variable reduces the integral to the sinÓ¬tis mA24Ó¬, and by expanding sin(Ó¬t+Ï•)by the trigonometric addition formulas and using (5.2) to write the average values is alsomA24Ó¬.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given displacements are y=AsinÓ¬tor y=Asin(Ó¬t+Ï•)that depends on time origin.

02

Definition of Fourier Transform

The energy of mass or a moving object is known as kinetic energy. The more kinetic energy an item possesses, the faster it moves. Kinetic energy is present in any moving item.

03

Average kinetic energy

Find the average kinetic energy of the particle.

E=12my2E=12mӬ2πA2sin2(Ӭt)dtE=mA24π∫02πӬsin2(Ӭt)d(Ӭt)E=mA24Ӭ

04

Select the integration limits

(a) For average kinetic energy, let Ӭt+ϕ=uand Ӭdt=du, and take the limits from ϕto ϕ+2π.

E=12my2E=12m(12∫02πӬA2sin2(Ӭt+ϕ)dt)E=mA22Ӭ12π∫ϕϕ+2πsin2uduE=mA24Ӭ

05

Expand sin(ωt+ϕ)

(b) Formula of trigonometric sine addition is,

sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB

Let, u=Ó¬tanddu=Ó¬dt.

Find the average kinetic energy,

E=12m(12π∫02πӬA2sin2(Ӭt+ϕ)dt)E=12m(12π∫02πӬA2(sin(Ӭt)cosϕ+cos(Ӭt)sinϕ)2dt)E=mA22Ӭ12π∫02π(sinucosϕ+cosusinϕ)duE=mA22Ӭ12π∫02π(sin2ucos2ϕ+cos2usin2ϕ+2sinu⋅cosu⋅sinϕ⋅cosϕ)du

Solve further,

E=mA22Ó¬(12cos2Ï•+12sin2Ï•)E=mA24Ó¬(cos2Ï•+sin2Ï•)E=mA24Ó¬(1)E=mA24Ó¬

Therefore, it is proved that the average of the kinetic energy of a particle is the same, mA24Ó¬, for the two formulas, y=AsinÓ¬tand y=Asin(Ó¬t+Ï•), and (a) the average kinetic energy by selecting the integration limits so that a change of variable reduces the integral to the sinÓ¬tis mA24Ó¬, and (b) by expanding sin(Ó¬t+Ï•)by the trigonometric addition formulas and using (5.2) to write the average values is alsomA24Ó¬
