A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface. When the amplitude of t

he motion is 0.090 m, it takes the block 2.76 s to travel from x = 0.090 m to x = -0.090 m. If the amplitude is doubled, to 0.180 m, how long does it take the block to travel:
a. from x = 0.180 m to x = -0.180 m
b. from x = 0.090 m to x = -0.090 m

Answer:

a) The time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled = 2.76 s

b) The time taken to travel from 0.09 m to -0.09 m when the amplitude is doubled = 0.92 s

Explanation:

a) The period of a simple harmonic motion is given as T = (1/f) = (2π/w)

It is evident that the period doesn't depend on amplitude, that is, it is independent of amplitude.

Hence, the time it would take the block to move from its amplitude point to the negative of the amplitude point (0.09 m to -0.09 m) in the first case will be the same time it will take the block to move from its amplitude point to negative of the amplitude point in the second case (0.18 m to -0.18 m).

Hence, time taken to travel from 0.18 m to -0.18m when the amplitude is doubled is 2.76 s

b) Now that the amplitude has been doubled, the time taken to move from amplitude point to the negative amplitude point in simple harmonic motion, just like with waves, is exactly half of the time period.

The time period is defined as the time taken to complete a whole cycle and a while cycle involves movement from the amplitude to point to the negative amplitude point then fully back to the amplitude point. Hence,

0.5T = 2.76 s

T = 2 × 2.76 = 5.52 s

Note that the displacement of a body undergoing simple harmonic motion from the equilibrium position is given as

y = A cos wt (provided that there's no phase difference, that is, Φ = 0)

A = amplitude = 0.18 m

w = (2π/5.52) = 1.138 rad/s

When y = 0.09 m, the time = t₁₂ = ?

0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₁ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₁ = 0.5

1.138t₁ = arccos (0.5) = (π/3)

t₁ = π/(3×1.138) = 0.92 s

When y = -0.09 m, the time = t₂ = ?

-0.09 = 0.18 Cos 1.138t₂ (angles in radians)

Cos 1.138t₂ = -0.5

1.138t₂ = arccos (-0.5) = (2π/3)

t₂ = 2π/(3×1.138) = 1.84 s

Time taken to move from y = 0.09 m to y = -0.09 m is then t = t₂ - t₁ = 1.84 - 0.92 = 0.92 s

Hope this Helps!!!

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

When the spring is stretched, it acquires potential energy. When released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If there is no friction nor any dissipative forces, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy according to the energy conservation theorem.

The equation of elastic potential energy (EPE) is the following:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretching distance.

The elastic potential energy is maximum when the block has no kinetic energy, just before releasing it.

Then:

EPE = 1/2 · 40 N/m · (0.1 m)²

EPE = 0.2 J

The maximum potential energy of the system is 0.2 J

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s

What does the scientific method help test in environmental science?
horsena [70]

Answer:

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.
