Why is simple harmonic motion a fundamental for understanding physics

1 answer:

6 0

The simple harmonic motion not only describes circular movements, also describes waves motion. This makes it fundamental for physics, make us understand waves like sound or light which explains an enormus part of our environment

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle $a=10m/sec^2$

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So $10=\frac{5^2}{r}$

$r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m$

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400 m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.4 m/s2 is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s2

padilas [110]

Answer:

Winner wins by 0.969 s

Explanation:

For the Porche:

Given:

Displacement of Porsche s = 400 m

Acceleration of Porsche a = 3.4 m/s^2

From Newton's second equation of motion,

$s = ut + (1/2) a t^2$ (u = 0 as the car was initially at rest)

Substituting the values into the equation, we have

$t^2 = (2 * 400) / 3.4$

= 235.29 / 3.4

t = 15.33 s

For the Honda:

Displacement of Honda = 310 m

Acceleration of Honda = 3 m/s^2

Applying Newton's second equation of motion

$s = ut + (1/2) a t^2$ (u = 0 for same reason)

Substituting the values into the equation, we obtain

$t^2 = (2 * 310) / 3$

= 620 / 3

t = 14.37 s

Hence

The winner (honda) wins by a time interval of = 15.33 - 14.37

=0.969 s

A bird with a mass of 0.88 kg has a potential energy of 96 J. How high off the ground is the bird?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Data:-m=0.88kg ,g=9.8m/sec² ,P.E=96J ,h=?

Explanation:

solution ,P.E=mgh here we have to find h so h=P.E/mg ,h=96/0.88×9.8 ,h=96/8.624=11.131m and if you want to verify so just put the value of h in same formula, likewise :-P.E=mgh ,P.E=0.88×9.8×11.131=96J so we got the same value of P.E as it is given the question (verified).
