Step by step solution

01

Step: 1  Concept and principle:

A simple harmonic oscillator's amount of energy is a motion constant and is given by

E=12kA2

The total kinetic energy for a mass m object bouncing at the tip of a force nearly constant spring are given by

K=12mv2

U=12kx2

In basic harmonic motion, an oscillator's angular frequency is given by

U=12kx2

02

Step: 2 Amplitude oscillations: (part a)

Because the oscillator's energy is retained, the amount of energy is constant and equal to the sum of the oscillator's kinetic and potential energies:

E=K+U

Substituting we get,

12kA2=12mv2+12kx2

kA2=mv2+kx2

Solving

A=mv2+kx2k

A=(0.1kg)(0.2m/s)2+(2.5N/m)(-0.05m)22.5N/m

A=0.064m.

03

Step: 3 Maximum acceleration block: (part b)

The oscillator angular frequency is

Ó¬=km

Substituting we get,

Ó¬=2.5N/m0.1kg

role="math" localid="1651382625317" Ó¬=5s-1

The maximum acceleration block is,

amax=Ó¬2A

amax=5s-12(0.064m)

amax=1.60m/s2.

04

Step: 4 Acceleration block maximum; (part c)

Because when component is at its second lowest deviation from the equilibrium point, the acceleration has a peak size and a positive value; at zero the amplitude. So

x=-A=-0.064m.

05

Step: 5 Speed at block: (part d)

The equation as

mv2=kA2-kx2

role="math" localid="1651382919403" mv2=k(A2-x2)

Solving for v,we get

v=kA2-x2m

Substituting,

v=(2.5N/m)(0.064m)2-(0.03m)20.1kg

v=0.283m/s.

A mass on a string of unknown length oscillates as a pendulum with a period of 4.0s.

What is the period if

a. The mass is doubled?

b. The string length is doubled?

c. The string length is halved?

d. The amplitude is doubled?

A mass hanging from a spring oscillates with a period of0.35s. Suppose the mass and spring are swung in a horizontal circle, with the free end of the spring at the pivot. What rotation frequency, in rpm, will cause the spring's length to stretch by 15%?

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?

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?

The motion of a particle is given by , where t is in s. What is the first time at which the kinetic energy is twice the potential energy?
