Don鈥檛 Miss the Boat. While on a visit to Minnesota (鈥淟and of 10,000 Lakes鈥), you sign up to take an excursion around one of the larger lakes. Whe\({\bf{1500}} - {\bf{kg}}\)n you go to the dock where the boat is tied, you find that the boat is bobbing up and down in the waves, executing simple harmonic motion with amplitude \({\bf{20}}\,{\bf{cm}}\). The boat takes \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{5}}\,{\bf{s}}\) to make one complete up-and-down cycle. When the boat is at its highest point, its deck is at the same height as the stationary dock. As you watch the boat bob up and down, you (mass \({\bf{60}}\,{\bf{kg}}\)) begin to feel a bit woozy, due in part to the previous night鈥檚 dinner of lutefisk. As a result, you refuse to board the boat unless the level of the boat鈥檚 deck is within \({\bf{10}}\,{\bf{cm}}\) of the dock level. How much time do you have to board the boat comfortably during each cycle of up-and-down motion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(1.17\,{\rm{s}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Mass of the boat \(m = 1500\,{\rm{kg}}\)

The amplitude \(A = \,\,{\rm{20}}\,{\rm{cm}}\)

Time period of boat \(T = 3.5\,{\rm{s}}\)

02

Significance of simple harmonic motion  

A motion known as a "simple harmonic motion," or SHM, is one in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the body's displacement from its mean position.

Displacement of SHM is expressed as,

\(\begin{aligned}{l}x = A\cos (\omega t + \varphi )\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,i.e\,\,\varphi = 0\\x = A\cos (\omega t)\,\end{aligned}\) 鈥(i)

Where, \(x\) is the displacement, \(A\) is the displacement, \(\omega \) is the angular speed and \(t\) is the time

03

 Determining that how much time do you have to board the boat comfortably during each cycle of up-and-down motion 

Using equation (i)

\(x = A\cos (\omega t)\,\)

Substitute \(x = \frac{A}{2}\) and \(\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\) in above equation

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\frac{A}{2} = A\cos (\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t)\,\\\cos (\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t)\, = \frac{1}{2}\\\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\\\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t = \frac{\pi }{3}\\t = \frac{T}{6}\end{aligned}\)

So the time taken for full up and down motion is given by,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}2t = \frac{T}{3}\\ = \frac{{3.5\,{\rm{s}}}}{3}\\ = 1.17\,{\rm{s}}\end{aligned}\)

A circular racetrack has a radius of 500 m. What is the displacement of a bicyclist when she travels around the track from the north side to the south side? When she makes one complete circle around the track? Explain.

A driver in Massachusetts was sent to traffic court for speeding. The evidence against the driver was that a policewoman observed the driver鈥檚 car alongside a second car at a certain moment, and the policewoman had already clocked the second car going faster than the speed limit. The driver argued, 鈥淭he second car was passing me. I was not speeding.鈥 The judge ruled against the driver because, in the judge鈥檚 words, 鈥淚f two cars were side by side, both of you were speeding.鈥 If you were a lawyer representing the accused driver, how would you argue this case?

Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?
