Answer:
a) T = 1.69 s, b) k = 0.825 N / m, c) v = 1.46 feet/s, d) a = 5.41 ft / s²,
e) v = - 1,319 ft / s, a = - 2.70 ft / s², f) K = 4.8 10⁻³ J, U = 1.49 10⁻³ J
Explanation:
In a mass-spring system with simple harmonic motion, the angular velocity is
w =
a) find the period
angular velocity, frequency, and period are related
w = 2π f = 2π / T
f = 1 / T
T = 1 / f
T = 1 / 0.59
T = 1.69 s
b) the spring constant
w = 2π f
w = 2π 0.59
w = 3.70 rad / s
w² = k / m
k = w² m
k = 3.70² 0.060
k = 0.825 N / m
c) the maximum speed
simple harmonic movement is described by the expression
x = A cos (wt + Ф)
speed is defined by
v =
v = -A w sin (wt + fi)
the speed is maximum when the cosine is ± 1
v = A w
v = 0.394 3.70
v = 1.46 feet/s
d) maximum acceleration
a =
a = - A w² cos wt + fi
the acceleration is maximum when the cosine is ±1
a = A w²
a = 0.394 3.70²
a = 5.41 ft / s²
e) velocity and acceleration for x = 6 cm
let's reduce the cm to feet
x = 6 cm (1 foot / 30.48 cm) = 0.1969 foot
Before doing this part we must find the phase angle (Ф), the most common way to start the movement is to move the spring a small distance and release it, so its initial speed is zero for t = 0 s
let's use the expression for the velocity
v = -A w sin (0 + Фi)
0 = - A w sin Ф
so sin Ф = 0 which implies that Фi = 0
the equation of motion is
x = A cos wt
x = 0.394 cos 3.70t
we substitute
0.1969 = 0.394 cos 370t
3.70 t = cos⁻¹ (0.1969 / 0.394)
let's not forget that the angle is in radians
3.70, t = 1.047
t = 1.047 / 3.70
t = 0.2826 s
we substitute this time in the equation for velocity and acceleration
v = - Aw sin wt
v = - 0.394 3.70 sin 3.70 0.2826
v = - 1,319 ft / s
a = - A w² cos wt
a = - 0.394 3.70² cos 3.70 0.2826
a = - 2.70 ft / s²
f) the kinetic and potential energy at this point
K = ½ m v²
let's slow down to the SI system
v = 1.319 ft / s (1 m / 3.28 ft) = 0.402 m / s
K = ½ 0.060 0.402²
K = 4.8 10⁻³ J
U = ½ k x²
U = ½ 0.825 0.06²
U = 1.49 10⁻³ J
The acceleration due to gravity of Mars is
<u>Explanation:</u>
As per universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But in the present case, the gravity need to be determined between Mars and the object on Mars. Since the mass of Mars is greater than the mass of any object. Thus,
Here, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of Mars and M, m is the mass of Mars and the object respectively..
Also, according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be equal to the ratio of force exerted on it to the mass of the object.
So in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity of Mars, divide the gravitational force of Mars by mass of object on the surface of Mars.
