A 1.0kgblock is attached to a spring with spring constant 16N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives its a speed of 40cm/s.

What are

a. The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?

b. The block's speed at the point where x=12A?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations is A=10.0cm

b) The block speed at the point when x=12Ais v=34.64cm/s

Step by step solution

01

Given data.

Given:

  • m=1.0kg
  • k=16N/m
  • v(0)=40cm/s
  • x(0)=0

Required:

(a) A

(b)vwhenx=12A

02

Simplification.

a) using conservation law and simplify to get that

v=ӬA2-x2⇒A2=(vӬ)2+x2⇒(1)

All is known except Ó¬which is given by

Ӭ2=km⇒(2)

substitution in (2)to get that

Ӭ2=161=16⇒Ӭ=4rad/s

substitution in (1)to get that

A2=0.442⇒A=0.1m=10.0cm

03

Using equation (1)

To get

v=4102-52=34.64cm/s

Where :

x=A/2=10/2=5cm

A spring with spring constant 15N/mhangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down 6.0cmand released. If the ball makes 30oscillations in localid="1650030754517" 20s, what are its localid="1650030759248" (a)mass and localid="1650030763230" (b)maximum speed?

What are the (a) amplitude, (b) frequency, and (c) phase constant of the oscillation shown in FIGUREEX15.5?

Suppose a large spherical object, such as a planet, with radius Rand mass Mhas a narrow tunnel passing diametrically through it. A particle of mass m is inside the tunnel at a distance x≤Rfrom 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?

A 350gmass on a 45-cm-long string is released at an angle of 4.5°from vertical. It has a damping constant of 0.010kg/s. After 25s,

(a) how many oscillations has it completed and

(b) how much energy has been lost?
