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.
