Two particles oscillate in simple harmonic motion along a common straight-line segment of length 1.0 m. Each particle has a peri

od of 1.5 s, but they differ in phase by π/6 rad.
(a) How far apart are they 0.45 s after the lagging particle leaves one end of the path?
(b) Are they then moving in the same direction, toward each other, or away from each other?

Answer:

a) the particles are <em>0.217 m </em>apart

b) <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

    = -0.155 A + 0.372 A

    = 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

<em>Δx  = 0.217 m</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

   = -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

   = -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

A 67 kg soccer player uses 5100 kJ of energy during a 2.0 h match. What is the
Oksanka [162]

The  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.

Given the data in the question;

  • Mass of the soccer player; m = 67kg
  • Energy used by the soccer player; E = 5100KJ = 5100000J
  • Time; t = 2.0h = 7200s

Power; P =\ ?

Power is simply the amount of energy converted or transferred per unit time. It is expressed as:

Power = \frac{Energy\ converted }{time}

We substitute our given values into the equation

Power = \frac{5100000J}{7200s}\\\\Power = 708.33J/s \\\\Power = 710J/s \ \ \ \ \ [ 2\ Significant\ Figures]\\\\Power = 710W

Therefore, the  average power produced by the soccer player is  710 Watts.
