An object's gravitational potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height above ground) .

I don't see the object's speed anywhere in that formula, do you ?

An object's speed has no effect whatsoever on its potential energy ... only if it changes the object's height above ground.

A 1-kilogram mass is attached to a spring whose constant is 21 N/m, and the entire system is then submerged in a liquid that imp

amm1812

Answer:

the required value is $x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Explanation:

Given that,

mass, m = 1kg

spring constant k = 21N/M

damping force = $-\beta\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{-10dx}{dt}$

$\beta = 10$

By Newtons second law ,

The diffrential equation of motion with damping is given by

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -kx-\beta\frac{dx}{dt}$

substitute the value of m =1kg, k = 21N/M, and $\beta = 10$

$1\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -21x=10\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + 10\frac{dx}{dt} + 21x = 0$

suppose the equation of the form $x =e^m^t$ ,

and the auxilliary equation is given by

$m^2 + 10m + 21 = 0\\\\m^2 + 7m+3m+21=0\\\\m(m+7)+3(m+7)=0\\\\(m+7)(m+3)=0\\\\m=-7\\m=-3$

The general solution for the above differential equation is

$x(t) =C_1e^{-3t}+C_2e^{-7t}$

Derivate with respect to t

$x'(t)=-3C_1e^{-3t}-7C_2e^{-7t}$

(a)

since time is 0 then mass is one meter below

so x(0) = 1

Also it start from rest , that implies , velocity is 0 and time is 0

$x'(0) = 0$

substitute the initial condition

$C_1 +C_2 = 1$

$-3C_1-7C_2=0$

Solve the above equation to get C₁ and C₂

$C_1 =\frac{7}{4} and C_2 = -\frac{3}{4}$

substitute for C₁ and C₂ in general solution

$x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Thus the required value is $x(t) = \frac{7}{4} e^{-3t}-\frac{3}{4} e^{-7t}$

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

$T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\\\k = \frac{4 \pi^2 m}{T^2}\\\\= \frac{4 \times (3.14)^2 \times 3}{2^2}\\\\=29.578 \ \frac{N}{m}\\\\$

For Point b:

$E=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 w^2\\\\$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times a^2 \times \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (0.15)^2 \times \frac{4\times 3.14^2}{2^2}\\\\=0.332 \ J$

For Point C:

$V_{max}= a w$

$= (0.15) \times \frac{2\pi}{T}\\\\= (0.15) \times \frac{2\times 3.14}{2}\\\\=0.471 \frac{m}{s}$

For point D:

$X= a \sin (wt+ \phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{T} \times t+\phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\times 3.14}{2} \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(3.14 \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(1.57+\phi)\\\\1.57 +\phi =\sin^{-1} 60^{\circ}\\\\1.57 +\phi = 36.86^{\circ}\\\\=35.29^{\circ}\\\\So, X=15 \sin(3.14t+35.29^{\circ}) \ cm$
