Chapter 10: Problem 44

A \(0.50-\mathrm{kg}\) object, suspended from an ideal spring of spring constant \(25 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m},\) is oscillating vertically. How much change of kinetic energy occurs while the object moves from the equilibrium position to a point \(5.0 \mathrm{cm}\) lower?

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: The change in kinetic energy of the object is 0.03125 J.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the elastic potential energy at equilibrium

At the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero, since the spring is neither compressed nor stretched.
02

Calculate the elastic potential energy at the position 5 cm lower

To calculate the elastic potential energy when the object is 5 cm lower, we need to find the amount the spring is stretched. The displacement from the equilibrium position is 5 cm, which we convert to meters: \(x = 5.0 \mathrm{cm} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{m}}{100 \mathrm{cm}} = 0.05 \mathrm{m}\). Now, using Hooke's Law, the elastic potential energy (PE_elastic) is given by: \(PE_{elastic} = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\) where \(k\) is the spring constant and \(x\) is the displacement. Plugging in the given values, we have: \(PE_{elastic} = \frac{1}{2} (25 \mathrm{N/m}) (0.05 \mathrm{m})^2\) \(PE_{elastic} = 0.03125 \mathrm{J}\)
03

Finding the change in kinetic energy

Since we know that the total mechanical energy is conserved, the change in elastic potential energy should be equal to the change in kinetic energy. So, the change in kinetic energy (螖KE) is given by: \(\Delta KE = PE_{elastic} - 0\) \(\Delta KE = 0.03125 \mathrm{J}\) The change in the kinetic energy of the object while moving from the equilibrium position to a point 5 cm lower is \(0.03125 \mathrm{J}\).

A small rowboat has a mass of \(47 \mathrm{kg} .\) When a \(92-\mathrm{kg}\) person gets into the boat, the boat floats \(8.0 \mathrm{cm}\) lower in the water. If the boat is then pushed slightly deeper in the water, it will bob up and down with simple harmonic motion (neglecting any friction). What will be the period of oscillation for the boat as it bobs around its equilibrium position?
A pendulum (mass \(m\), unknown length) moves according to \(x=A\) sin $\omega t .\( (a) Write the equation for \)v_{x}(t)$ and sketch one cycle of the \(v_{x}(t)\) graph. (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy?
Resilin is a rubber-like protein that helps insects to fly more efficiently. The resilin, attached from the wing to the body, is relaxed when the wing is down and is extended when the wing is up. As the wing is brought up, some elastic energy is stored in the resilin. The wing is then brought back down with little muscular energy, since the potential energy in the resilin is converted back into kinetic energy. Resilin has a Young's modulus of $1.7 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ (a) If an insect wing has resilin with a relaxed length of \(1.0 \mathrm{cm}\) and with a cross-sectional area of \(1.0 \mathrm{mm}^{2},\) how much force must the wings exert to extend the resilin to \(4.0 \mathrm{cm} ?\) (b) How much energy is stored in the resilin?
Equipment to be used in airplanes or spacecraft is often subjected to a shake test to be sure it can withstand the vibrations that may be encountered during flight. A radio receiver of mass \(5.24 \mathrm{kg}\) is set on a platform that vibrates in SHM at \(120 \mathrm{Hz}\) and with a maximum acceleration of $98 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}(=10 \mathrm{g}) .$ Find the radio's (a) maximum displacement, (b) maximum speed, and (c) the maximum net force exerted on it.
A \(0.50-\mathrm{kg}\) mass is suspended from a string, forming a pendulum. The period of this pendulum is 1.5 s when the amplitude is \(1.0 \mathrm{cm} .\) The mass of the pendulum is now reduced to \(0.25 \mathrm{kg} .\) What is the period of oscillation now, when the amplitude is \(2.0 \mathrm{cm} ?\) (W tutorial: change in period)
