An object with mass 0.200kg is acted on by an elastic restoring force with force constant 10 N/m. (a) Graph elastic potential energy U as a function of displacement x over a range of x from -0.300 m to +0.300 m On your graph, let 1 cm =0.05 m vertically and 1 cm =0.05 m horizontally. The object is set into oscillation with an initial potential energy of 0.140 J and an initial kinetic energy of 0.060 J. Answer the following questions by referring to the graph. (b) What is the amplitude of oscillation? (c) What is the potential energy when the displacement is one-half the amplitude? (d) At what displacement are the kinetic and potential energies equal? (e) What is the value of the phase angle if the initial velocity is positive and the initial displacement is negative?

Short Answer

b) The amplitude of oscillation, A =0.2 m.

c) The potential energy, PE =0.2 J.

d) Displacement when potential and kinetic energy is same is x =0.141 m.

e) The phase angle is Ï•=0.58rad.

Step by step solution

01

Potential and Kinetic energy

Any item or system that has stored energy as a result of its location or component arrangement is said to have potential energy. Nevertheless, it is unaffected by external factors like air pressure or altitude. On the other hand, kinetic energy is the force that propels a moving object or group of particles.

Calculate the total energy

Consider the given data as below.

The potential energy, P.E. =0.14 J

The kinetic energy, K.E.=0.06 J

Total energy will be

E=K.E.+P.E.=0.06+0.14=0.2J

02

(a) Make the graph of potential energy versus displacement.

The range of the graph for displacement will be x∈[-0.3m,0.3m].

03

 Step 3: (b) Calculate the amplitude using energy.

The total mechanical energy in a simple harmonic motion is given by

E=12mvx2+12kx=12kA2=CONSTANT

Now, use the energy equation to find the amplitude

E=12kA2A=2×Ek=2×0.210=0.2m

Hence, the amplitude of oscillation, A =0.2 m

04

 Step 4: (c) Calculate the potential energy.

The potential energy is given by

P.E.=12kx2

The displacement is half the amplitude. So,

x=A2P.E.=12kA22=18kA2=18×10×0.22=0.2J

Hence, the potential energy is PE=0.2 J.

05

 Step 5: (d) Equate the potential and kinetic energy to find the displacement

If the kinetic energy and the potential energy become equal, then the total mechanical energy is given by

E=2×K.E.=2×12kx2

Rearranging, we will get x=Ek.

x=0.210=0.141m

Hence, the displacement when potential and kinetic energy is same is x=0.141 m.

06

(e) Calculate the phase angle

The phase angle is given by

ϕ=tan−1−v0Ӭx0

Here,

The initial velocity, v0=2KE0m

The initial displacement, x0=-2PE0k

The angular frequency,Ó¬=km

Therefore, the phase angle will be,

ϕ=tan−1−2KE0mkm−2PE0k=tan−1KE0PE0

Substitute known values in the above equation.

Ï•=tan-10.060.14Ï€=0.58rad

Hence, the phase angle is Ï•=0.58rad.

(a) What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling?

(b) How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take theputty to reach the ceiling?

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

Mass Mis distributed uniformly over a disk of radius a. Find the

gravitational force (magnitude and direction) between this disk-shaped mass

and a particle with mass mlocated a distance xabove the centre of the disk

(Fig. P13.81). Does your result reduce to the correct expression as xbecomes

very large? (Hint:Divide the disk into infinitesimally thin concentric rings, use

the expression derived in Exercise 13.35 for the gravitational force due to each

ring, and integrate to find the total force.)

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet’s surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, ÒÏ=M/V, and the planet’s diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn’s surface?
