The displacement of an oscillating object as a function of time is shown in Fig. E14.4. What are (a) frequency; (b) the amplitude; (c) the period; (d) the angular frequency of this motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Frequency is6.25x103Hz.

(b) The amplitude is10cm.

(c) The period is16s.

(d) The angular frequency of this motion is 0.39rad/s.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of frequency amplitude, period, and angular frequency.

Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations done by an object per second.

The amplitude of motion can be defined as the maximum distance that an object travels before coming back to its original position.

The period can be defined as the time taken required to complete one cycle or oscillation.

Angular frequency is a quantity that measures how quickly an object oscillates with respect to time.

02

(a) Calculate frequency.

The given figure shows one complete cycle for the object. Thus, the period for one complete cycle from the graph is

T = 16 s

The relation between frequency and time period is given by,

f=1T

Substitute value of in above expression to get frequency

f=116s=0.0625Hz=62.5×10-3Hz

Therefore, the frequency is 62.5×10-3Hz.

03

(b) Calculate the amplitude

(b) It is given that the object travels from - 10 cm to +10 cm . Thus, its amplitude is the maximum distance its travels from the equilibrium position.

Therefore, the amplitude is 10 cm .

04

(c) Determine the period.

(c) In part (a), the time period was calculated as

T = 16 s

Therefore, the time period is 16 s .

05

(d) Find angular frequency of the motion

The relation between angular frequency and time period is given by,

Ó¬=2Ï€T

Substitute the values of time period to get angular frequency

Ó¬=2Ï€16s=0.39rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency is0.39 rad/s .

For the hydraulic lift shown in Fig. 12.7, what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F1 is applied so that a 1520-kg car can be lifted with a force F1 of just 125 N?

A cube is placed so that one corner is at the origin and three edges are along the x-, y-, and z-axes of a coordinate system (Fig. P1.80). Use vectors to compute (a) the angle between the edge along the z-axis (line ab) and the diagonal from the origin to the opposite corner (line ad), and (b) the angle between line ac (the diagonal of a face) and line ad.

As a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large, open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0° west of south. After the specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock. The winner is the person who takes the shortest time to reach the location of the silver dollar. Remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin. How far and in what direction do you run?
