4/3 m/s ( approximately 1.3333... m/s)
Answer:
a) t=24s
b) number of oscillations= 11
Explanation:
In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is
m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0
Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,
x(t)=A₀
where A(t)=A₀
A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and
is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,
Now coming to the problem,
Given: m=1.2 kg
k=9.8 N/m
b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s
A₀=13 cm
a) A(t)=A₀/8
⇒A₀ =A₀/8
⇒
applying logarithm on both sides
⇒
⇒
substituting the values
b)
, where 
is time period of damped SHM
⇒
let 
be number of oscillations made
then, 
⇒
The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.
<h3>
Final speed of the pin</h3>
The final speed of the pin is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;
m1u1 + mu2 = m1v1 + m2v2
where;
- m is the mass of the objects
- u is the initial speed of the objects
- v is the final speed of the objects
4(1.4) + 0.4(0) = 4(0.5) + 0.4v2
5.6 = 2 + 0.4v2
5.6 - 2 = 0.4v2
3.6 = 0.4v2
v2 = 3.6/0.4
v2 = 9 m/s
Thus, The speed of the pin after the elastic collision is 9 m/s east.
