Answer: 0.0146m
Explanation: The formula that defines the velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given as
v = ω√A² - x²
Where v = linear velocity, A = amplitude = 1.69cm = 0.0169m, x = displacement.
The maximum speed of a simple harmonic motion is derived when x = A, hence v = ωA
One half of maximum speed = speed of motion
3ωA/2 = ω√A² - x²
ω cancels out on both sides of the equation, hence we have that
A/2 = √A² - x²
(0.0169)/2 = √(0.0169² - x²)
0.00845 = √(0.0169² - x²)
By squaring both sides, we have that
0.00845² = 0.0169² - x²
x² = 0.0169² - 0.00845²
x² = 0.0002142
x = √0.0002142
x = 0.0146m
Answer:
Fnet = 0
Explanation:
- Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
- According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
- This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

- In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)
- This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
- Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)
