A mass of 0.8 kg is fixed at a vertical spring with an unknown spring constant. When spring is released from rest, it extends to

15cm before it stops. As the system oscillates with Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) the weight is pulled down 20cm further downward and being released.
1. What is the spring constant?
2. What is the total energy of the system?
3. What is the angular frequency of spring?
4. What is the velocity of the system at x=10cm below equilibrium position? ​

Answer:

1) k = 52 N/m

2) E = 1.0 J

3) ω = 8.1 rad/s

4) v = 1.4 m/s

Though asked for a velocity, we can only supply magnitude (speed) because we don't have enough information to determine direction.

If it happens to be the first time it is at y = - 10 cm after release, the velocity is upward.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial setup is after all transients are eliminated.

kx = mg

k = mg/x = 0.8(9.8) / 0.15

k = 52.26666.... ≈ 52 N/m

E = ½kA² = ½(52)(0.20²) = 1.045333... ≈ 1.0 J

ω = √(k/m) = √(52 / 0.8) = 8.0829... ≈ 8.1 rad/s

½mv² = ½kA² - ½kx²

v = √(k(A² - x²)/m) = √(52(0.20² - 0.10²)/0.8) = 1.39999... ≈ 1.4 m/s

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength=\lambda=410 nm

\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

\theta=14.5^{\circ}

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta

Substitute the values

(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5

d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}

d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm
