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>

someone help pls. Two students, Mia and Peter, leave school to meet at the local coffee shop. Peter decides to jog to the coffee
cluponka [151]

Answer:

1) The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia is 1.24 km

2) Mia's average speed is 6.00 km/hour

Peter's average speed is 8.48 km/hour

4) Mia's average velocity = Peter's average velocity = 6.00 km/hour

Explanation:

The given information from the diagram are;

The distance Peter jogs from school to the flower shop = 2.00 km

The distance Peter jogs from the Flower shop to the Coffee shop = 2.24 km.

The distance Mia walks from school directly to the Coffee shop = 3.00 km

The time it takes both Peter and Mia to arrive at the coffee shop = 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

1) The total distance Peter travels from school to the Coffee shop = 2.00 km + 2.24 km = 4.24 km

The distance Mia travels from school to the Coffee shop = 3.00 km

The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia = 4.24 km - 3.00 km = 1.24 km

The distance further it takes Peter to arrive at the Coffee shop than Mia = 1.24 km

2) Average \ speed = \dfrac{Total \ distance \ traveled}{Total \ time \ taken \  in \ the \ journey}

Therefore, \ Mia's \ average \ speed = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Mia's average speed = 6.00 km/hour

Peter's \ average \ speed = \dfrac{4.24 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 8.48 \ km/hour

Peter's average speed = 8.48 km/hour

4) Average \ velocicty = \dfrac{Displacement }{Time  \ taken}

The displacement from the School to the Coffee shop is 3.00 km for both Mia and Peter

The time it takes both Peter and Mia to arrive at the Coffee shop from the school is 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Therefore, \ Mia's \ average \ velocity = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Mia's average velocity = 6.00 km/hour

Peter's \ average \ velocity = \dfrac{3.00 \ km}{0.5 \ hour}= 6.00 \ km/hour

Therefore, Peter's average velocity is also = 6.00 km/hour

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of the net force on q₁-

Fn₁=1403 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₂+

Fn₂= 810 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₃+

Fn₃= 810 N

Explanation:

Look at the attached graphic:

The charges of the same sign exert forces of repulsion and the charges of   opposite sign exert forces of attraction.

Each of the charges experiences 2 forces and these forces are equal and we calculate them with Coulomb's law:

F= (k*q*q)/(d)²

F= (9*10⁹*3*10⁻⁶*3*10⁻⁶)(0.01)² =810N

Magnitude of the net force on q₁-

Fn₁x= 0

Fn₁y= 2*F*sin60 = 2*810*sin60° = 1403 N

Fn₁=1403 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₃+

Fn₃x= 810- 810 cos 60° = 405 N

Fn₃y= 810*sin 60° = 701.5 N

Fn_{3} = \sqrt{405^{2}+701.5^{2}  }

Fn₃ = 810 N

Magnitude of the net force on q₂+

Fn₂ = Fn₃ = 810 N

elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) \vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k, b) \vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B

The charge of the electron is equal to -1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C. Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}

The magnetic force is:

\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k

b) The charge of the proton is equal to 1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C. Then, cross product has the following determinant:

\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}

The magnetic force is:

\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k
