As you know, a common example of a harmonic oscillator is a mass attached to a spring. In this problem, we will consider a horiz

ontally moving block attached to a spring. Note that, since the gravitational potential energy is not changing in this case, it can be excluded from the calculations.
For such a system, the potential energy is stored in the spring and is given by

U=1/2kx^2,

where k is the force constant of the spring and x is the distance from the equilibrium position.

The kinetic energy of the system is, as always,

K=1/2mv^2,

where m is the mass of the block and v is the speed of the block.

We will also assume that there are no resistive forces; that is, E=constant.

a. Find the total energy of the object at any point in its motion.
b. Find the amplitude of the motion.
c. Find the maximum speed attained by the object during its motion.

a)E= U + K = \frac{1}{2}kx² +  \frac{1}{2}mv²

The total energy of the system at any point in the motion is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring, U, and of the kinetic energy of the mass, K:

E= U + K = \frac{1}{2}kx² +  \frac{1}{2}mv²

where

'k' represents the spring constant

'x' is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position

'm' is the mass of the block attached to the spring

and 'v' is the speed of the block

b) <em>A=</em>\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}<em> </em>

The amplitude of the motion compares to the most extreme displacement of the mass-spring system. The displacement of the system, x(t), at time t, for a simple harmonic oscillator is given by,

x= Asin(ωt+∅)

where

amplitude  is 'A'

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} is the angular frequency of the motion

t is the time

\phi is the phase (we can take \phi=0 )

The amplitude of the motion occurs when the displacement of the motion is maximum: x=A. Regarding energy, the mass-spring system is at its maximum displacement (x=A) when all the mechanical energy of the framework is elastic potential energy, so when the kinetic energy is zero:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\ -->(1)

<em>A=</em>\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}<em> </em>

c)v_{max}=\omega A<u></u>

When the elastic potential energy is zero, the maximum speed of the system occurs i.e U=0 and the kinetic energy is maximum, so:

U=0

E=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

According to the law of conservation of the mechanical energy, this energy must be equal to the energy of the system at its maximum displacement (1), so we can write

\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

and solving for v_{max}we find an expression for the maximum speed:

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{kA^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}A=\omega A

<h2><u></u>v_{max}=\omega A<u></u></h2>

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10–6 c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10–6 c
mote1985 [20]

An electric dipole consists of a particle with a charge of 6 x 10⁻⁶ c at the origin and a particle with a charge of –6 x 10⁻⁶ c on the x axis at x = 3 x 10⁻³ m. Its dipole moment is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

Dipole moment of a dipole is dependent on the charge of the dipole and the distance between the two charges.

Electric Dipole consists of two charges which are equal and opposite in charge i.e. positive and negative charges.

Given,

Dipole moment, p = ?

Charge, q = 6 x 10⁻⁶C

Distance between charges, d = 3 x 10⁻³ m

Dipole moment (p) is given by:

p = charge x distance between the two charges

p = 6 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 x 10⁻³ Cm

p = 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

The dipole moment for the given charge configuration is 18 x 10⁻⁹ Cm

An electron accelerates through a 12.5 V potential difference, starting from rest, and then collides with a hydrogen atom, excit
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Bohr's atomic model

         E = - 13.606 / n²

where is the value of 13.606 eV is the energy of the ground state and n is the integer.

The energy acquired by the electron in units of electron volt (eV)

          E = e V

          E = 12.5 eV

all this energy is used to transfer an electron from the ground state to an excited state

        ΔE = 13.6060 (1 / n₀² - 1 / n²)

the ground state has n₀ = 1

       ΔE = 13.606 (1 -  1/n²)

        1 /n² = 1 - ΔE/13,606

         1 / n² = 1 - 12.5 / 13.606

         1 / n² = 0.08129

          n = √(1 / 0.08129)

          n = 3.5

 since n is an integer, maximun is

         n = 3

because it cannot give more energy than the electron has

From this level there can be transition to reach the base state.

 

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1
