A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

Assume that x=0 corresponds to the relaxed position of the spring. The mass is pulled out to a position xm and released. Derive an expression for the positions at which the kinetic energy of the mass is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Answer:x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to x_m

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is \frac{kx_m^2}{2}

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

U=\frac{kx^2}{2}

it is given

k=U

thus 2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2x^2=x_m^2

x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

The tip of a fan blade is 0.61 m from the center of the fan. The fan turns at a constant speed and completes 2 rotations every 1
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Time period of fan (t) = 1 / 2 = 0.5 seconds

Angular velocity (ω)= 2π/t
ω = 4π

v = ωr
v = 4π x 0.61
v = 7.66 m/s
