An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e

quilibrium location), velocity, and acceleration of the block are x = 0.134 m, v = -12.1 m/s, and a = -107 m/s2. Calculate (a) the frequency of oscillation, (b) the mass of the block, and (c) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.0 vibrations
Goryan [66]

Answer:

0.47 m

Explanation:

N = Number of vibrations = 37

t = total time taken = 33 s

T = time period of each vibration

frequency of vibration is given as

f = \frac{N}{t} \\f = \frac{37}{33} \\f = 1.12 Hz

d = distance traveled along the rope = 421 cm = 4.21 m

t = time taken to travel the distance = 8 s

v = speed of the wave

Speed of the wave is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}\\v = \frac{4.21}{8}\\v = 0.53 ms^{-1}

\lambda = wavelength of the harmonic wave

wavelength of the harmonic wave is given as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \\\lambda = \frac{0.53}{1.12} \\\lambda = 0.47 m

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Answer:

= 338.2 m/s

Explanation:

vs= 331 + T (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 12 °C (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 7.2m/s

= 338.2 m/s

Answer:

D)evaluating a solution

Explanation:

In this scenario, the next logical step would be evaluating a solution. This is because Jasper and Samantha have already identified the problem/need which is that the robot needs to be able to move a 10-gram weight at least 2 meters and turn in a circle. They also designed and implemented a solution because they have already built the robot. Therefore the only step missing is to evaluate and make sure that the robot they built is able to complete the requirements.
