A block oscillating on a spring has a maximum speed of 20cm/s. What will the block's maximum speed be if the total energy is doubled? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The block's maximum speed on doubling the total energy is28.3cm/s

Step by step solution

01

The expression of total energy

The expression for total energy of a block oscillating on a spring is,

Etotal=12kA2.......(1)

Here, kis spring constant and Ais amplitude of oscillation.

Equate the total kinetic energy with total kinetic energy at the mean position.

Ekinetic=12mvmax2......(2)

Here, m is mass of the block and vmax is maximum speed.

02

Step 2:The expression of total kinetic energy

Obtain a relation between maximum speed and total kinetic energy.

Equate the expression (1)and (2)

12mvmax2=Etotal

vmax2=2Etotalm

vmax=2Etotalm

vmaxEtotal

03

Calculation of total energy

Calculate the block's maximum speed on doubling the total energy.

vmax1vmax=E1totalEtotal

vmax1=E1totalEtotalvmax

Substitute 2for E1totalEtotaland 20cm/sfor vmaxin the above equation

vmax'=2(20cm/s)

localid="1648224030351" =28.3cm/s.

Whenever the total energy is twice, the block's maximum speed is28.3cm/s.

A 200gair-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 10 cm .and released. A student with a stopwatch finds that 10oscillations take 12.0 s . What is the spring constant?

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 xR 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 rx; 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, 3.51018kg 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?

On your first trip to Planet Xyou happen to take along a 200gmass, a 40cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You鈥檙e curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can鈥檛 find this information in your Visitor鈥檚 Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 31.2cm. You then pull the mass down 10.0cmand release it. With the stopwatch you find that 10oscillations take 14.5s. Based on this information, what is g?

A 200goscillator in a vacuum chamber has a frequency of 2.0Hz. When air is admitted, the oscillation decreases to 60%of its initial amplitude in 50s. How many oscillations will have been completed when the amplitude is 30%of its initial value?

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?
