ollegr [7]

The acceleration and distance is related to the following expression:
y=v0*t + a*t^2/2 ; v0=0
y=44.1*100/2 = 2205m
hence, the speed will be
v=0 + a*t = 441m/s
from that height it will just be subjected to the gravitational acceleration
0=v_acc^2 -2g*y_free
y_free = v_acc^2/2g = 9922.5m
y_max = y_acc+y_free = 441+9922.5 =10363.5m

White raven [17]

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:

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

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:

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