A 2.00-kg frictionless block attached to an ideal spring with force constant 315 N/m is undergoing simple harmonic motion. When the block has displacement +0.200 m, it is moving in the negative x-direction with a speed of 4.00 m/s. Find (a) the amplitude of the motion; (b) the block’s maximum acceleration; and (c) the maximum force the spring exerts on the block.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The amplitude of the motion A = 0.38 m.
  2. The block’s maximum acceleration is 59.26 m/s2.
  3. The maximum force the spring exerts is 199.7 N.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the amplitude of the motion

a)

We know that velocity at any point in SHM is given by,

Vx=±KmA2-x2 ………………. (1)

By above equation we get,

A=mvx2K+x2=2Kg×(4m/s)2315N/m+(0.2m)2=0.38m

02

Substituting the values in the given formula

b)

We know that,

ax=-Ӭ2x ………………. (2)

Where is angular frequency and x is the displacement.

Angular frequency of the object in SHM is given as,

Ӭ=Km ………………. (3)

From equation (1) and (2)

ax=-Kmx ………………. (4)

Block is moving in negative direction so, the maximum acceleration will be at x=-A.

amax=KmA ………………. (5)

role="math" localid="1668142489955" =315N/m2Kg×(0.38m)=59.26m/s2

03

Calculate the maximum force exerted during the SHM

The force on the object exerted by the spring is given by,

F = -Kx ………………. (6)

Maximum force will be for x=-A,

Fmax=KA=315N/m×0.38m=119.7N

Hence, the amplitude of the motion is 0.38 m, maximum acceleration is 59.26m/s2 and maximum force during the SHM is 119.7 N

You take an empty glass jar and push it into a tank of water with the open mouth of the jar downward, so that the air inside the jar is trapped and cannot get out. If you push the jar deeper into the water, does the buoyant force on the jar stay the same? If not, does it increase or decrease? Explain.
