Chapter 15: Q. 38 (page 416)

a. When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12A, what fraction of the energy is kinetic energy and what fraction is potential energy?

b. At what displacement, as a fraction of A, is the energy half kinetic and half potential?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a: The fraction of potential energy is 14Eand the fraction of kinetic energy is 34E.

Part b: The energy half kinetic and half potential at displacement is x=2A.

Step by step solution

01

a. Introduction

The Potential Energy of Mass on spring U=12kx2--- (1)

The Kinetic Energy of Mass on spring K=12kA2 ---(2)

From the question, we know that

Displacementx=12A---(3).

02

b. Calculation

Let us substitute (3) in (1).

U=12Kx2

U=12K12A2U=1412KA2

U=14E

Therefore

Kinetic Energy K = Total Mechanical Energy 鈥� Potential Energy

K=E鈭�14E

K=34E.

03

b. Introduction

Assume y is the fraction of A

Displacement X = yA.

04

b. Calculation

As we know,

Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

ETotal=U+K

i.e.,

ETotal=12kx2+12kA212kA2=1212kx2

A2=12(yA)2(as we knowx=yA)

A2=12y

y=2

Therefore at displacement x=2A, the energy will be half Kinetic and half Potential.

A solid sphere of mass Mand radius Ris suspended from a thin rod, as shown in

FIGURECP15.77.The sphere can swing back and forth at the bottom of the rod. Find an expression for the frequency fof small angle oscillations.

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鈮�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鈮�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脳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 penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is low, the penny rides up and down without difficulty. If the frequency is steadily increased, there comes a point at which the penny leaves the surface.

aAt what point in the cycle does the penny first lose contact with the piston?

bWhat is the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle?
