An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 1.5s. At t=0sthe glider is 5.00cmleft of the equilibrium position and moving to the right at 36.3cm/s.

a. What is the phase constant?

b. What is the phase at t=0s, 0.5s, 1.0s, and 1.5s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The phase constant is ϕo=-2π3

(b) The phase at t=0sis ϕ(0)=-2π3, att=0.5sis ϕ(0.5)=0, att=1.0sisϕ(1.0)=2π3, att=1.5sisϕ(1.5)=4π3

Step by step solution

01

Find the Phase constant (part a)

Given:

x(0)=5cmleft of equilibrium position

v(0)=36.3cm/sto the right side of the equilibrium position

T=1.5s

Equation of wave is given,

x(t)=Acos2πtT+ϕo

v(t)=-2πATsin2πtT+ϕo

We have to search out the Amplitude by divide the above equations,

v(t)x(t)=-2πTtan2πtT+ϕo

Substitute the values and at t=0,

36.35=-2π1.5tanϕo⇒ϕo=arctan1.5×36.310π=1.047rad=π3rad≈60°

02

Find the Phase Constant (part a)

The absolute angle is 60°, and also the displacement is 5, thus the direction is from -Ato 0at 270°, where x=0, that the angle is within the third quadratic and is given from +xby,

ϕo=π+π3=4π3rad=-2π3rad

Then, ϕ=ϕ+2π=ϕ-2π, we write ϕwithin the variety of -2π3

03

Find Phase constant at t=0 s, 0.5 s, 1 s, 1.5 s (part b)

By,

x(t)=Acos2Ï€tT-2Ï€3

To achieve the best possible positive amplitude, t=0s

A=5cos(2Ï€/3)=10cm

so, the equation is

x(t)=10cos(Ï•)=10cos2Ï€t1.5-2Ï€3

The angle ϕis,

Ï•(t)=2Ï€t1.5-2Ï€3

Substitute,

t=0s, Ï•(0)=-2Ï€3

t=0.5s, Ï•(0.5)=0

t=1s, Ï•(1)=2Ï€3

t=1.5s,Ï•(1.5)=4Ï€3
