Answer:
speed of the mass is 3.546106 m / s
Explanation:
given data
mass = 77.3 g = 77.3 × kg
spring constant k = 12.5 N/m
amplitude A = 38.9 cm = 38.9 × m
to find out
the speed of the mass
solution
we will apply here conservation energy that is
K.E + P.E = Total energy ..................1
so that Total energy = K.E max = P.E max
we know amplitude so we find out first P.E max that is
PE max = K.E + P.E
(1/2)kA² = (1/2)mv² + (1/2)kx²
kA^² = mv²+ kx²
so here v² will be
v² = k(A² - x²) / m
v = √[(k/m)×(A² - x²)] ............2
here x = (1/2)A so from from 2 equation
v = √[(k/m)×(A² - (A/2)²)]
v = √[(k/m)×(3/4×A²)]
now put all value
v = √[(12.5/ 77.3 × )×(3/4×(38.9 ×
)²)]
v = 3.546106 m / s
speed of the mass is 3.546106 m / s
