The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:
where
A is the amplitude
is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass
t is the time
Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:
The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:
So, the equation of motion is
b) t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s
The potential energy is given by:
While the kinetic energy is given by:
The velocity as a function of time t is:
The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:
However, , so we have
with two solutions:
c) 3 seconds.
When x=0, the equation of motion is:
so, t=0.
When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:
So, the time needed is 3 seconds.
d) 0.097 m
The period of the oscillator in this problem is:
The period of a pendulum is:
where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find
