(A) Find the period of its motion.
(B) Determine the maximum speed of the block.
(C) What is the maximum acceleration of the block?
(D) Express the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time in SI units.

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

mass attached m = .14 kg

force constant k = 5N / m

displacement

= amplitude of oscillation

A = .03 m

A ) period of motion = [tex]2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]

= 2 x 3.14 [tex]\sqrt{\frac{.14}{5} }[/tex]

T = 1.05 s

B ) maximum speed of block = angular velocity x amplitude

= (2π /T)  x A

= (2 x 3.14 x .03) / 1.05

= .1794 m / s

17.94 cm /s

C )

maximum acceleration = angular velocity² x amplitude

= (2π /T)² x A

= (2π /1.05)² x .03

= 1.073 m / s²

D )

position

S = A cos ωt , ω is angular velocity

S = .03 cos(2πt /T)

= .03 cos 5.98 t

v =ω A sin(2πt /T)

= 5.98 x .03 sin5.98t

= .1794 sin5.98t

acceleration = ω²A sin5.98t

= 1.073 sin5.98t

For the mass connected to a light spring, the value of period, maximum speed and acceleration is,

  • (A) The period of its motion is 1.05 seconds.
  • (B) The maximum speed of the block is 0.1794 m/s.
  • (C) The maximum acceleration of the block is 1.073 m/s ²
  • (D) The position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time in SI units is 0.3cos(5.98t) m, 0.1794sin(5.98t) and 1.073sin(5.98t) m/s² respectively.

What is angular speed of a body?

The angular speed of a body is the rate by which the body changed its angle with respect to the time. It can be given as,

[tex]\omega= \dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}[/tex]

A 140 g mass is connected to a light spring of force constant 5 N/m that is free to oscillate on a horizontal, frictionless track.

The mass is displaced 3 cm from the equilibrium point and released from rest.

  • (A) The period of its motion-

The period of motion is given by the following formula,

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}[/tex]

Here m, is the mass and k, is the spring constant. Mass of the spring is 140g or 0.14 kg, and spring constant is 5 N/m. Thus the period id,

[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{0.14}{5}}\\T=1.05\rm s[/tex]

  • (B) The maximum speed of the block-

First find out the angular velocity. Angular velocity can be given as,

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.05}\\\omega=5.98\rm rad/s[/tex]

Maximum speed of the block is product of angular velocity and the amplitude. The amplitude is 3 cm or 0.03 m. Therefore, speed is,

[tex]v=(\dfrac{2\pi}{1.05})^2\times0.3\\v=.1794m/s[/tex]

  • (C) The maximum acceleration of the block-

Maximum acceleration of the block is product of square of angular velocity and the amplitude. The amplitude is 3 cm or 0.03 m. Therefore, acceleration is,

[tex]a=(\dfrac{2\pi}{1.05})^2\times0.3\\a=1.073\rm m/s^2[/tex]

(D) The position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time in SI units.

The position can be given with cosine graph,

[tex]d=0.3\cos(\dfrac{(2\pi)}{1.05}t)\\d=0.3\cos(5.98t)\rm m[/tex]

The velocity can be given as,

[tex]v=v_{max}\sin(5.98t)\\v=0.1794\sin(5.98t)\rm m/s[/tex]

The acceleration is,

[tex]a=a_{max}\sin(5.98t)\\v=1.073\sin(5.98t)\rm m/s^2[/tex]

  • (A) The period of its motion is 1.05 seconds.
  • (B) The maximum speed of the block is 0.1794 m/s.
  • (C) The maximum acceleration of the block is 1.073 m/s ²
  • (D) The position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time in SI units is 0.3cos(5.98t) m, 0.1794sin(5.98t) and 1.073sin(5.98t) m/s² respectively.
