Answer:
1.3m/s
Explanation:
Data given,
Mass,m=1.0kg,
Amplitude,A=0.10m,
Frequency,f=2.0Hz.
From the equation of a simple harmonic motion, the displacement of the object at a given time is define as
we can express the velocity by the derivative of the displacement,
Hence
at equilibrium, the velocity becomes
Hence if we substitute values we arrive at
I believe this is what you have to do:
The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by
So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁
So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:
F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)
Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give
F₂ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations
now we see that:
F₂ = F₁
So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.
