g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t

he mass is released from rest at x = 10.0 cm. ( That is, the spring is stretched by 10.0 cm.) (a) Determine the frequency of the oscillations. (b) Determine the maximum speed of the mass. Where dos the maximum speed occur? (c) Determine the maximum acceleration of the mass. Where does the maximum acceleration occur? (d) Determine the total energy of teh oscillating system. (e) Express the displacement as a function of time.

Answer:

(a)    f = 0.58Hz

(b)    vmax = 0.364m/s

(c)    amax = 1.32m/s^2

(d)    E = 0.1J

(e)    x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}            (1)

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A      (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A

a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)

The net force is 180 and the mass is 1.793 what is the acceleration
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

100.390407

Explanation:

To find acceleration, you would use the formula a=f/m (acceleration equals force divided by mass) and then once you enter those numbers in the formula, a=180/1.793. Then you divide 180 divided by 1.793 which gets you an answer of 100.390407.
