If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the total energy increase?

Physics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

c)by a factor of four

Explanation:

The total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

k is the spring constant of the oscillator

A is the amplitude of the motion

In this problem, the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, so

A' = 2A

Therefore, the new total energy is

E'=\frac{1}{2}k(2A)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=4E

So, the total energy increases by a factor 4.

Answer:

Explanation:

When the string moves, it creates a very small change in the distance to the next point, this generates a restoring force that tends to push the string back, this small disturbance propagates along the string and is what creates the pulse.

This is similar to what happens when a spring is stretched and a restoring force is generated shaved by the law of shortening.

car travels 80 meters due north in 12 seconds then the car turns around and travels 30 Mi do South in 4 seconds calculate the av
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

1) 3.1 m/s

2) 7 m/s

Explanation:

Distance due north = 80 m

Distance due south = 30 m

Distance between north and south = (80 - 30) m = 50 m

Total time = (12 + 4) sec = 16 sec

1) Average speed = 50/16 = 3.1 m/s

2) Average velocity = Total distance/total time = (80 + 30) m/16 s = 110/16 = 7 m/s
