A box containing a pebble is attached to an ideal horizontal spring and is oscillating on a friction-free air table. When the box has reached its maximum distance from the equilibrium point, the pebble is suddenly lifted out vertically without disturbing the box. Will the following characteristics of the motion increase, decrease, or remain the same in the subsequent motion of the box? Justify each answer. (a) Frequency; (b) period; (c) amplitude; (d) the maximum kinetic energy of the box; (e) the maximum speed of the box.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The frequency increases.

(b) The period decreases.

(c) The amplitude is the same.

(d) The kinetic energy is the same.

(e) The velocity increases.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the formula used in the motion

Frequency in SHM is

f=12蟿蟿km

Period of Time in SHM is

T=2蟿蟿mk

Angular Frequency in SHM is

=km

02

Determine the motion of Frequency, period

(a) When the pebble is suddenly lifted out vertically, this means the mass is decreased. The frequency is related to the mass by

f=12蟿蟿km

As shown by above equation the frequency is inversely proportional to the root square of the mass

f1m

So, when the mass decreases the frequency increases.

(b) The time period is related to the mass and the force constant by in the form

T=2蟿蟿mk

As shown, the period is proportional to the root square of the mass

Tm

So, when the mass decreases the period decreases.

03

Determine the motion of Amplitude,the maximum kinetic energy of the box and the maximum speed of the box.

(c) The amplitude depends on the frequency and the period of the spring inly, not the mass that attached to the spring. So, the amplitude after reducing the mass will be the same

(d) All potential energy converts to kinetic energy. Hence, the kinetic energy is equal to the total mechanical energy in the spring

K=E=12kA2

As the amplitude A is the same, so the kinetic energy is the same

(e) The angular velocityis related to the mass and the force constant by

=km

As shown, the angular frequency is inversely proportional to the root square of the mass

1m

So, when the mass decreases the velocity increases.

A Tennis Serve. In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14m/s. A served tennis ball is typically in contact with the racquet for30.0and starts from rest. Assume constant acceleration. (a) What was the ball鈥檚 acceleration during this serve? (b) How far did the ball travel during the serve?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)
