A 2.00-kg, frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 300 N/m. At t = 0 the spring is neither stretch

ed nor compressed and the block is moving in the negative direction at 12.0 m/s. Find (a) the amplitude and (b) the phase angle. (c) Write an equation for the position as a function of time.

Answer:

a) A = 0.98 m

b) Ф = 90°

c) x = -0.98sin(12.25t)

Explanation:

We know the value of the spring constant which is 300 N/m, the innitial apmplitude, that we will call it xo is 0, at t = 0, and the speed is 12 m/s

The expression for the amplitude under these conditions is:

A = √xo² + vx²/w² (1)

To calculate the angular speed w, we use the following expression:

w = √k/m  (2)

Calculating w:

w = √300/2 = 12.25 rad/s

Now, we replace this value into equation 1, along with the other known values and solve for A:

A = √0 + (12)²/(12.25)²

A = 0.98 m

b) In this part, is actually easy, the displacement of x in function of the time is given by:

x = A cos(wt - Ф) (4)

But at t = 0 we have then:

x = xo = A cosФ (5)

Solving for the angle Ф we have:

xo/A = cosФ

Ф = arccos(x0/A)  (6)

Replacing the data in (6):

Ф = arccos(0/0.98)

Ф = 90°

c) Equation (4) is the expression for the simple harmonic motion

x = A cos(wt - Ф)

And if we replace here the value of w and the previous angle, we can write an equation for x in function of t:

x = 0.98 cos (12.25t - 90)

x = 0.98 cos(12.25t - 90)

And we have an trigonometric expression for cos that is:

cos(α - π/2) = -sinα

in this case, α will be the value of w = 12.25 rad/s. and 90° is the same as rewritting as π/2, therefore:

cos(α - π/2) = cos(12.25t - 90)

x = -0.98sin(12.25t)

During an exothermic reaction; light and heat are released into the environment.

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. This heat can be physically observed sometimes like in an a combustion reaction.

In an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

This heat lost is sometimes felt as the hotness of the vessel in which the reaction has taken place.

In conclusion, light and heat are released into the environment in an exothermic reaction.
