A student is bouncing on a trampoline. At her highest point, her feet are 55cmabove the trampoline. When she lands, the trampoline sags15cmbefore propelling her back up. For how long is she in contact with the trampoline?

Short Answer

Expert verified

She is in contact with the trampoline fortc=T=0.134s

Step by step solution

01

Given data.

Given

  • d=55.0cm
  • 2A=15cm

Required:T

02

Solution

x=0The simple harmonic motion begins when student's feet touch trampoline and the time she will be in contact with trampoline is the periodic time which is given by

vmax=AÓ¬=2Ï€´¡T⇒(1)

We need to determine vmaxso we sill use conservation's law, At max point potential is max and at x=0kinetic energy is max so

12mv2max=mgh⇒vmax=2gh⇒(3)

We assume that student go down 7.5cmwhile she is in contact with trampoline so x=0after going down 7.5cmso his given by

h=55+7.5=62.5cm=0.625m

The max velocity is achieved when x=0so it is given by

vmax=2×0.625×9.8=3.5m/s

substitution in (1)yields

T=2π×0.0753.5=0.134S

vmax=2×0.625×9.8=3.5m/s

FIGURE P15.62 is a top view of an object of mass m connected between two stretched rubber bands of length L. The object rests on a frictionless surface. At equilibrium, the tension in each rubber band is T. Find an expression for the frequency of oscillations perpendicular to the rubber bands. Assume the amplitude is sufficiently small that the magnitude of the tension in the rubber bands is essentially unchanged as the mass oscillates.

An object in simple harmonic motion has amplitude 4.0cmand frequency 4.0Hz, and at t=0sit passes through the equilibrium point moving to the right. Write the function x(t)that describes the object’s position.

FIGUREEX15.8is the velocity-versus-time graph of a particle in simple harmonic motion.

a. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

b. What is the phase constant?

c. What is the position att=0s?

A captive James Bond is strapped to a table beneath a huge

pendulum made of a 2.0-m-diameter uniform circular metal blade

rigidly attached, at its top edge, to a 6.0m-long, massless rod.

The pendulum is set swinging with a 10°amplitude when its lower

edge is 3.0mabove the prisoner, then the table slowly starts ascending

at 1.0mm/s. After 25minutes, the pendulum’s amplitude

has decreased to 7.0°. Fortunately, the prisoner is freed with a

mere 30sto spare. What was the speed of the lower edge of the

blade as it passed over him for the last time?
