Answer:
a) x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
b) x = 8.45 cm
Explanation:
This is a Simple Harmonic Motion, and most Simple Harmonic Motion equations start from the equilibrium point. In this question however, we are starting from the max displacement the equations, and thus, it ought to be different.
From the question, we are given that
A = 8.8 cm = 0.088 m
t = 0.66 s
Now, we need to find the angular speed w, such that
w = 2π/T
w = (2 * 3.142) / 0.66
w = 6.284 / 0.66
w = 9.52 rad/s
The displacement equation of Simple Harmonic Motion is usually given as
x = A*sin(w*t)
But then, the equation starts from the equilibrium point at 0 sec, i.e x = 0 m
When you have to start from the max displacement, then the equation would be
x = A*cos(w*t).
So when t = 0 the cos(0) = 1, and then x = A which is max displacement.
Thus, the equation is
x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
At t = 1.7 s,
x = 8.8 cos (9.52 * 1.7)
x = 8.8 cos (16.184)
x = -8.45 cm
Answer:
a= kinetic energy vs. different masses at same speed, b= kinetic energy vs. same masses at different speeds
Explanation:
graphs are looking at speed so masses don't matter as much. same speed the whole time will equal same kinetic energy the whole time.
The probablity is a 50 percent chance
Very interesting question. I would be happy to answer if it was actually, indeed, a question
