Chapter 4: Q52P (page 168)

A bouncing ball is an example of an anharmonic oscillator. If you quadruple the maximum height, what happens to the period? (Assume that the ball keeps returning almost to the same height.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

If the quadruple the maximum height, the time period increases four-time

Step by step solution

01

Bouncing ball

A bouncing ball is an example of an anharmonic oscillator, as amplitude is decease so period also decreases too.

02

Relation between height and period of the bouncing ball

As the amplitude is directly proportional to the time for bouncing the ball.

h鈭�T

So, the amplitude increases four times, and the period also increases four times.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 14 kg from a gold wire 2.5 m long that is 2 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of the wire, and find that the wire stretched 0.00139 m. (a) Calculate Young鈥檚 modulus for the wire. (b) The atomic mass of gold is 197 g/mole, and the density of gold is. Calculate the interatomic spring stiffness for gold.

The diameter of a copper atom is approximately2.28脳10-10m. The mass of one mole of copper is 64g. Assume that the atoms are arranged in a simple cubic array. Remember to convert to SI units. (a) What is the mass of one copper atom, in kg? (b) How many copper atoms are there in a cubical block of copper that is 4.6 cmon each side? (c) What is the mass of the cubical block of copper, in kg?

In the approximation that the Earth is a sphere of uniform density, it can be shown that the gravitational force it exerts on a mass m inside the Earth at a distance r from the center is mg(r/R), where R is the radius of the Earth. (Note that at the surface, the force is indeed mg, and at the center it is zero). Suppose that there were a hole drilled along a diameter straight through the Earth, and the air were pumped out of the hole. If an object is released from one end of the hole, how long will it take to reach the other side of the Earth? Include a numerical result.

You hang a mass Mfrom a spring, which stretches an amount S1. Then you cut the spring in half, and hang a mass Mfrom one half. How much does the half-spring stretch? (a) 2s1, (b) S1,(c)s1/2.

A hanging copper wire with diameter 1.4 mm (1.4脳10-3)m is initially 0.95m long. When a 36kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.83mm, and when a 72kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 3.66mm. A mole of copper has a mass of 63g, and its density is9g/cm3 Find the approximate value of the effective spring stiffness of the interatomic force.
