A 40.0 N force stretches a vertical spring 0.250 m.
(A) What mass must be suspended from the spring so that the system will oscillate with a period of 1.0 s?
(B) If the amplitude of the motion is 0.050 m and the period is as in part (a), where is the object and in what direction is it moving 0.35 s after it has passed the equilibrium position moving downwards?
(C) What force (magnitude and direction) does the spring exert on the object when it is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position, moving upward?
Ah, a physics problem! Let me put on my thinking hat. Or, well, my thinking clown nose. Here we go!
To answer part (A), we can use Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement. The formula is F = kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.
We know the force is 40.0 N and the displacement is 0.250 m. We need to find the mass, so we can use the equation F = mg, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
The tricky part is finding the spring constant, k. We can calculate it using the equation k = F/x. Plugging in the values, we get k = 40.0 N / 0.250 m.
Once we have the spring constant, we can use it to find the mass. Given that the period is 1.0 s, we can use the formula T = 2π√(m/k), where T is the period. Solving for m, we get m = (T^2 * k) / (4π^2).
Now, for part (B), we're given the amplitude (0.050 m) and the period (1.0 s). The position of the object is given by x(t) = A * cos(2πt/T), where A is the amplitude, t is the time, and T is the period.
Plugging in the values, we can find x(0.35 s) to determine the position. The direction of motion can be determined by looking at the sign of the velocity, which is the derivative of the position function.
Finally, for part (C), we're given the position (0.030 m) and the direction of motion (upward). We can use the position function from part (B) and plug in the given values to find the time, t. Then we can find the velocity at that time by taking the derivative of the position function. The magnitude of the force can be calculated using the equation F = kx. The direction of the force can be determined by looking at whether the displacement is positive or negative.
Now that we have the strategy, let's crunch the numbers and find those answers! Hang on tight, because we're about to oscillate through the solution. *honk honk*
To solve these questions, we will use Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. The formula is given as:
F = k * x
where F is the force exerted by the spring, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium.
To find the spring constant (k), we can use the first given piece of information:
A 40.0 N force stretches a vertical spring 0.250 m.
We can use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant:
k = F / x
k = 40.0 N / 0.250 m
k = 160 N/m
(A) What mass must be suspended from the spring so that the system will oscillate with a period of 1.0 s?
The formula for the period of an oscillating spring-mass system is given as:
T = 2π * sqrt(m / k)
where T is the period, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant.
To find the mass (m), we can rearrange the formula:
m = T^2 * k / (4π^2)
m = (1.0 s)^2 * 160 N/m / (4π^2)
m = 0.255 kg
Therefore, a mass of 0.255 kg must be suspended from the spring for the system to oscillate with a period of 1.0 s.
(B) If the amplitude of the motion is 0.050 m and the period is as in part (a), where is the object and in what direction is it moving 0.35 s after it has passed the equilibrium position moving downwards?
In simple harmonic motion (SHM), the displacement of the object can be expressed as:
x = A * cos(2π * t / T)
where x is the displacement, A is the amplitude, t is the time, and T is the period.
Given that the amplitude is 0.050 m and the period is 1.0 s, we can plug in the values to find the displacement (x) 0.35 s after passing the equilibrium position:
x = 0.050 m * cos(2π * 0.35 s / 1.0 s)
x ≈ -0.024 m
Therefore, the object is located 0.024 m below the equilibrium position and moving downwards 0.35 s after passing the equilibrium position.
(C) What force (magnitude and direction) does the spring exert on the object when it is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position, moving upward?
To find the force exerted by the spring (F), we can use Hooke's Law:
F = k * x
Given that the displacement is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position, we can calculate the force:
F = 160 N/m * 0.030 m
F = 4.8 N
Therefore, the spring exerts a force of 4.8 N in the upward direction on the object when it is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position, moving upward.
Sure! Let's go through each part of the question and explain how to get the answers.
(A) To find the mass required for the system to oscillate with a period of 1.0 s, we need to use the formula for the period of a mass-spring system.
The period of a mass-spring system is given by T = 2π√(m/k), where T is the period, m is the mass of the object suspended from the spring, and k is the spring constant.
We are given the force applied to the spring (40.0 N) and the displacement of the spring (0.250 m). The spring constant, k, can be calculated using Hooke's Law, F = kx, where F is the force, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement.
From Hooke's Law, we can write 40.0 N = k * 0.250 m. Solving for k, we get k = 160 N/m.
Now, using the formula for the period, we can write 1.0 s = 2π√(m/160). Solving for m, we obtain m = (1.0 s / (2π))^2 * 160.
Plugging in the values and evaluating the expression, we find m ≈ 6.389 kg.
Therefore, the mass required for the system to oscillate with a period of 1.0 s is approximately 6.389 kg.
(B) To determine the position and direction of motion 0.35 s after passing the equilibrium position, we need to use the equation for simple harmonic motion.
The equation for simple harmonic motion is given by x(t) = A * cos(ωt + φ), where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position, A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, and φ is the phase constant.
We are given the amplitude (0.050 m) and the period (1.0 s), which can be used to calculate the angular frequency, ω = 2π/T.
Substituting the values, we get ω = 2π/1.0 = 2π rad/s.
Now, using the given time (0.35 s) and the expression for displacement, we can calculate x(0.35) = A * cos(ω * 0.35 + φ).
Since the object is passing through the equilibrium position moving downwards, the phase constant φ = 0.
Plugging in the values, we have x(0.35) = 0.050 * cos(2π * 0.35 + 0).
Evaluating the expression, we find x(0.35) ≈ -0.032 m.
Therefore, 0.35 s after passing the equilibrium position moving downwards, the object is located approximately 0.032 m below the equilibrium position.
(C) To find the force exerted by the spring when the object is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position and moving upward, we can use Hooke's Law.
Hooke's Law states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position.
We are again given the force applied to the spring (40.0 N) and the displacement (0.030 m).
Using Hooke's Law, we can write 40.0 N = k * 0.030 m, where k is the spring constant.
We already calculated the spring constant in part (A) as 160 N/m.
Substituting the values, we find 40.0 N = 160 N/m * 0.030 m.
Simplifying the equation, we get 40.0 N = 4.8 N.
Therefore, the spring exerts a force of 4.8 N when the object is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position and moving upward.
From the force and deflecion information, the spring constant is k = F/X = 160 N/m
(A) Use the equation
P (period) = 2 pi sqrt(M/k)
(Solve for M)
(B) The total energy (kinetic + potential) = (1/2) k (Amplitude)^2
If t=0 is the equilibrium position,
X = -A sin (2 pi t/P)
A = 0.050 m
Substitute t = -0.35 s
That is more than 1/4 period past the t=0 postion. It should be at negatime deflection but on the way back.
(C) X = -0.030 m. Multiply than by k for the force. The force wil be up.
