Answer:

It made landfall.

Explanation:

On land there is more friction than in open water, so it slowed down the hurricane.

For a damped simple harmonic oscillator, the block has a mass of 1.2 kg and the spring constant is 9.8 N/m. The damping force is

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) t=24s

b) number of oscillations= 11

Explanation:

In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is

m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0

Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,

x(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}cos(w't+\phi)=A(t)cos(w't+\phi)$

where A(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$

A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and

$w'$ is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

Now coming to the problem,

Given: m=1.2 kg

k=9.8 N/m

b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s

A₀=13 cm

a) A(t)=A₀/8

⇒A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ =A₀/8

⇒ $e^{\frac{bt}{2m}}=8$

applying logarithm on both sides

⇒ $\frac{bt}{2m}=ln(8)$

⇒ $t=\frac{2m*ln(8)}{b}$

substituting the values

$t=\frac{2*1.2*ln(8)}{0.21}=24s(approx)$

b) $w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{1.2}-\frac{0.21^{2}}{4*1.2^{2}}}=2.86s^{-1}$

$T'=\frac{2\pi}{w'}$ , where $T'$ is time period of damped SHM

⇒ $T'=\frac{2\pi}{2.86}=2.2s$

let $n$ be number of oscillations made

then, $nT'=t$

⇒ $n=\frac{24}{2.2}=11(approx)$
