Answer:

Amplitude = 0.7183m

Period of motion (T) = 1.566 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, lets convert all the figures given in the question to standard units for ease of calculations.

1 pound = 0.454kg. Therefore, 32 pounds = 32 x 0.454kg = 14.528kg

Mass(M) = 14.528kg

Velocity (v) = 5ft/s; now, 1ft/s = 0.305m/s; so 5ft/s = 5x0.305m/s = 1.524m/s

So v=1.524m/s

Change in length of spring (^x) = 2ft. If 1ft = 0.3048, 2ft = 2x0.3048 = 0.6096m

Now,we know that Weight = Mg where g = 9.81m/s^2

Therefore, W = 14.528 x 9.81 = 142.52N

Now, ^F is the same as weight and

^F = k(^x) where k is the spring constant. Therefore k = ^F/^x

K= 142.52/0.6096 = 233.79N/m

Angular speed (ω) = (k/m) ^(1/2)

Therefore, ω = (233/14.528)^(1/2)

ω = 16.093^(1/2) = 4.012 rad/s

It is well known that ω = 2πf ; where f is frequency.

Therefore, f = ω/2π ; f= 4.012/2π = 0.6385 hz.

Period of motion (T) = 1/f

So, T = 1/0.6385 = 1.566 seconds

From proven oscillation equations;

V^2 = ω^2 (A^2 - x^2) ; where v is velocity, and A is amplitude.

Therefore let's make A the subject of the the equation ;

(V^2/ω^2) + (x^2) = (A^2)

So, {(1.524^2)/(4.012^2)} + (0.6096^2) = (A^2)

So, (A^2) = 0.5159

So, A = 0.5159^(1/2) = 0.7183m

What is the value of the slope of the graph of distance versus time, and what does the slope represent?
Phantasy [73]
To find the slope of the graph you pick any piece of the line, and divide the vertical difference between its ends by the horizontal difference between its ends. If the graph is distance versus time then the slope represents the speed.
