Answer:
a) t=24s
b) number of oscillations= 11
Explanation:
In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is
m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0
Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,
x(t)=A₀
where A(t)=A₀
A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and
is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,
Now coming to the problem,
Given: m=1.2 kg
k=9.8 N/m
b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s
A₀=13 cm
a) A(t)=A₀/8
⇒A₀ =A₀/8
⇒
applying logarithm on both sides
⇒
⇒
substituting the values
b)
, where 
is time period of damped SHM
⇒
let 
be number of oscillations made
then, 
⇒
Answer:
i)-6.25m/s
ii)18 metres
iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr
Explanation:
Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s
90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s
(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)
0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)
0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one
-625 = 100A
Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)
(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s
In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s
then apply the same formula as that in (i)
0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s
-225 = -12.5s
Hence the stopping distance = 18metres
(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question
0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)
u^2 = 700
Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s
In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr
The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf is false. The kinetic energy on the shelf is zero because it is not in action.
