Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

The given air-track glider, which is mounted on a spring oscillates between the 10cm mark and the 60cm mark on the track.

02

Formula used (part a)

T=Time period.

t=Time.

n=No. of oscillations.

Then,T=tn.

03

Calculation (part a)

Since the glider completes 10oscillations in 33s, t=33sand n=10.

Substitute them into the formula to obtain T.

T=tn=33s10=3.3s

04

Final Answer (part a)

The time period is3.3s.

05

Given Information (part b) 

The given air-track glider, which is mounted on a spring oscillates between the 10cm mark and the 60cm mark on the track.

06

Formula used (part b) 

Frequency=1timeperiod.

07

Calculation (part b) 

The time period is 3.3s.

Hence, the frequency is

role="math" localid="1648523592892" f=1timeperiod=13.3s=0.303Hz.

08

Final answer (part b) 

The air-track glider has a frequency of0.303Hz.

09

Given Information (part c) 

The air-track glider has a frequency of 13.3s=0.303Hz.

10

Formula used (part c) 

If fis the frequency then, the angular frequency of air-track glider isÓ¬=2Ï€´Ú.

11

Calculation (part c) 

Ó¬=2Ï€´ÚÓ¬=2×3.14×0.303HzÓ¬=1.902rad/s

12

Final Answer (part c)

The air-track glider has a angular frequency of1.902rad/s.

13

Given information (part d)

The given air-track glider, which is mounted on a spring oscillates between the 10cm mark and the 60cm mark on the track.

14

Calculation (part d)

The given air-track glider travel a distance =60cm-10cm=50cm.

The amplitude of the given air-track glider is50cm2=25cm.

15

Final answer (part d)

The amplitude of the given air-track glider is25cm.

16

Given information (part e)

The air-track glider has a angular frequency Ó¬=1.902rad/s.

The amplitude of the given air-track glidera=25cm.

17

Formula used (part e)

Maximum speed, vmax=Ó¬a

Where,Ó¬=angular frequency, anda=amplitude.

18

Calculation (part e)

The maximum speed of the given air-track glider is

vmax=Ӭa=1.902ra/s×25cm=47.55cm/s=0.48m/s.

19

Final answer (part e)

The maximum speed of the given air-track glider is0.48m/s.

An ultrasonic transducer, of the type used in medical ultrasound imaging, is a very thin disk m=0.10gdriven back and forth in SHMat 1.0MHzby an electromagnetic coil.

a. The maximum restoring force that can be applied to the disk without breaking it is 40,000N. What is the maximum oscillation amplitude that won't rupture the disk?

b. What is the disk's maximum speed at this amplitude?

FIGUREQ15.3shows a position-versus-time graph for a particle in SHM. What are (a) the amplitude A, (b) the angular frequency Ӭ, and the phase constant ϕ0?

Suppose a large spherical object, such as a planet, with radius R and mass M has a narrow tunnel passing diametrically through it. A particle of mass m is inside the tunnel at a distance x≤R from the center. It can be shown that the net gravitational force on the particle is due entirely to the sphere of mass with radius r≤x; there is no net gravitational force from the mass in the spherical shell with r>x.

a Find an expression for the gravitational force on the particle, assuming the object has uniform density. Your expression will be in terms of x,R,m,M, and any necessary constants.

b You should have found that the gravitational force is a linear restoring force. Consequently, in the absence of air resistance, objects in the tunnel will oscillate with SHM. Suppose an intrepid astronaut exploring a 150-km-diameter, 3.5×1018kg asteroid discovers a tunnel through the center. If she jumps into the hole, how long will it take her to fall all the way through the asteroid and emerge on the other side?

What are the (a) amplitude, (b) frequency, and (c) phase constant of the oscillation shown in FIGUREEX15.6?

A pendulum on Planet X, where the value of gis unknown, oscillates with a period . What is the periodT=2sof this pendulum if:

a. Its mass is doubled? Explain. Note that you do not know the value of m,L,org, so do not assume any specific values. The required analysis involves thinking about ratios.

b. Its length is doubled?

c. Its oscillation amplitude is doubled?
