A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The amplitude of the motion is 0.250 m and the period is 3.20 s. What are the speed and acceleration of the block when x = 0.160 m?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed and acceleration of the block isvx=0.377m/s and ax=0.62m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Formula required for velocity and angular frequency

Velocity at any point x is given as,

Vx=±KmA2-x2 ……….. (1)

Where K is the spring constant, A is the amplitude of the SHM, and x denotes position of object.

We know that angular frequency is given as,

Ӭ=Km=2ΠT ……….. (2)

02

Calculate speed and acceleration      

From equation (1) and (2)

Vx=ӬA2−x2=2ΠTA2−x2 ……….. (3)

The amplitude of SHM is A = 0.250 m and time period is T = 3.20 sec.

The position of block is x=0.160 m,

Hence, from equation (3)

Vx=2Π3.2s(0.25m)2−(0.16m)2=0.377m/s

We know acceleration is given as,

ax=−Ӭ2x=2Π3.2s2×(0.16m)=0.62m/s2

At x=0.16 m speed is 0.377 m/s and acceleration is 0.62m/s2

A lunar lander is makingits descent to Moon Base I (Fig. E2.40). The lander descendsslowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine iscut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downwardspeed of 0.8m/s . With the engine off, the lander is in freefall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface?The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s2.

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0 Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.
