A student is studying simple harmonic motion of a spring. She conducts an experiment where she measures the amplitude and period

of an undamped system to be 23 ± 2 mm and 0.40 ± 0.020 seconds, respectively. Using the equation for displacement as a function of time y(t) = Acos(ωt), what is the uncertainty of her displacement calculation in mm for t = 0.050 ± 0.0010 seconds?

Answer:

5.9*10^{-4}m

Explanation:

to find the uncertainty of the displacement it is necessary to compute the uncertainty for the angular frequency:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.40s}=15.707rad/s\\\\\frac{d \omega}{\omega}=\frac{dT}{T}\\\\d\omega=\omega \frac{dT}{T}=(15.707rad/s)\frac{0.020s}{0.40s}=0.785rad/s

then, you can calculate the uncertainty in angular displacement:

\theta=\omega t\\\\\frac{d\theta}{\theta}=\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}\\\\d\theta=\theta\sqrt{(\frac{d\omega}{\omega})^2+(\frac{dt}{t})^2}=0.0422

finally, by using:

y=Acos(\omega t)\\\\dy=dAcos(\omega t)d(\omega t)=(dA)cos(\theta)d\theta=(0.002m)cos(0.785)(0.0422)\\\\dy=5.9*10^{-4}m

Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}.

Kinetic energy of system at first: \frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}. After: \frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)
