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

The two blocks in FIGURE P15.52 oscillate on a frictionless surface with a period of 1.5s. The upper block just begins to slip when the amplitude is increased to 40cm. What is the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks?

FIGURE P15.52

Astronauts in space cannot weigh themselves by standing on a bathroom scale. Instead, they determine their mass by oscillating on a large spring. Suppose an astronaut attaches one end of a large spring to her belt and the other end to a hook on the wall of the space capsule. A fellow astronaut then pulls her away from the wall and releases her. The spring's length as a function of time is shown in FIGUREP15.43.

a. What is her mass if the spring constant is240N/m?

b. What is her speed when the spring's length is1.2m?

A 200g ball is tied to a string. It is pulled to an angle of 8.0°and released to swing as a pendulum. A student with a stopwatch finds that 10oscillations take12s. How long is the string?
