1) 3 miles/Hour
The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:
where
d = 1.5 mi is the distance
t = 0.5 h is the time taken
Substituting,
2) 1.34 m/s south
Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:
is the displacement in meters
is the time taken in seconds
Substituting,
And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) angular frequency ω =
k is spring constant and m is mass attached
ω =
= 3.6515 rad / s
frequency of oscillation n = 3.6515 / (2 x 3.14)
= .5814 s⁻¹
x = .1 mcos(ωt)
= .1 mcos(3.6515t)
b ) maximum speed = ωA , A is amplitude
= 3.6515 x .1
= .36515 m /s
36.515 cm /s
maximum acceleration = ω²A
= 3.6515² x .1
= 1.333 m / s²
c ) Kinetic energy at displacement x
= 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²)
potential energy =1/2 m ω²x²
so 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²) = 1/2 m ω²x²
A²-x² = x²
2x² = A²
x = A / √2
