A 170 g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 2.0 Hz. At t = 0 s, the mass is at x = 5.0 cm and has vx = -28 cm/s. Determine the following: (a) the period (b) the angular frequency (c) the amplitude (d) the phase constant (e) the maximum speed (f) the maximum acceleration (g) the total energy (h) the position at t = 0.4 s

Respuesta :

(a) 0.5 s

In a simple harmonic motion, the period is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

[tex]T=\frac{1}{f}[/tex]

where f is the frequency

For this simple harmonic oscillator, the frequency is

f = 2.0 Hz

So the period is

[tex]T=\frac{1}{2.0 Hz}=0.5 s[/tex]

(b) 12.56 rad/s

The angular frequency is given by

[tex]\omega = 2 \pi f[/tex]

where

f is the frequency

In this problem,

f = 2.0 Hz

So the angular frequency is

[tex]\omega = 2 \pi (2.0 Hz)=12.56 rad/s[/tex]

(d) 0.419 rad

The displacement of the system can be written as

[tex]x(t) = A cos (\omega t+\phi)[/tex] (1)

where A is the amplitude and [tex]\phi[/tex] is the phase constant.

The velocity is the derivative of the displacement:

[tex]v(t) = x'(t) = -A\omega sin(\omega t+\phi)[/tex] (2)

Here we know that

at t=0, x(5)=5.0 cm and v(t)=-28 cm/s. So we can rewrite the ratio (2)/(1) as

[tex]\frac{v(t)}{x(t)}=\frac{-28 cm/s}{5.0 cm}=\frac{-\omega A sin(\phi)}{A cos(\phi)}=-\omega tan \phi[/tex]

And re-arranging the equation we can find the phase constant:

[tex]\phi = tan^{-1} (\frac{v}{\omega x})=tan^{-1} (\frac{-28 cm/s}{(5.0 cm)(12.56 rad/s)})=0.419 rad[/tex]

(c) 5.47 cm

The displacement of the system can be written as

[tex]x(t) = A cos (\omega t+\phi)[/tex] (1)

at t=0, x=5.0 cm, so using the values we found for [tex]\omega, \phi[/tex] we can now solve the equation to find A, the amplitude:

[tex]A=\frac{x}{cos(\omega t+\phi)}=\frac{5.0 cm}{cos(0.419 rad)}=5.47 cm[/tex]

(e) 68.7 cm/s

The maximum speed in a simple harmonic system is given by

[tex]v=\omega A[/tex]

where in this case we have

[tex]\omega=12.56 rad/s[/tex]

[tex]A=5.47 cm[/tex]

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

[tex]v=(12.56 rad/s)(5.47 cm)=68.7 cm/s[/tex]

(f) 862.9 cm/s^2

The maximum acceleration in a simple harmonic system is given by

[tex]a=\omega^2 A[/tex]

where in this case we have

[tex]\omega=12.56 rad/s[/tex]

[tex]A=5.47 cm[/tex]

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

[tex]a=(12.56 rad/s)^2(5.47 cm)=862.9 cm/s^2[/tex]

(g) 0.04 J

The total energy of the system is equal to the kinetic energy when the speed of the system is maximum: this occurs at x=0 (equilibrium position), where the elastic potential energy is zero, and all the energy is just kinetic energy:

[tex]E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2[/tex]

where we have

m = 170 g = 0.170 kg is the mass

[tex]v_{max}=68.7 cm/s = 0.687 m/s[/tex] is the maximum speed

Substituting into the equation,

[tex]E=K=\frac{1}{2}(0.170 kg)(0.687 m/s)^2=0.04 J[/tex]

(h) 3.65 cm

The position of the system is given by

[tex]x(t) = A cos (\omega t+\phi)[/tex]

where we have

[tex]\omega=12.56 rad/s[/tex] is the angular frequency

[tex]A=5.47 cm[/tex] is the amplitude

[tex]\phi = 0.419 rad[/tex] is the phase constant

Substituting t=0.4 s, we find the position at this time:

[tex]x = (5.47 cm) cos ((12.56 rad/s)(0.4 s)+0.419 rad)=3.65 cm[/tex]

What is simple harmonic motion, SHM?

It is a rectilinear movement performed by a oscillating and periodic movil.

It is periodic because it repeats in a certain intervale of time.

The time -in seconds- it takes to the movil to make a complete oscillation is called Period, T.

The frequency, f, refers to the number of complete oscillations (cycles) completed per second. f = 1/T (Hz).

When considering a simple harmonic motion, we need to know that there will be always a restoring force (F), that tends to take the movil to the original position when it moves a distance named amplitud.

There are some significant components to consider in this motion,

  • The position of the movil, X (m) ⇒ initial, equilibrium, and in other positions
  • The acceleration, a (m/s²)
  • Velocity, V (m/s)
  • The amplitud, A (m)
  • Frequency, f (Hz)
  • The initial phase, Φ (rad)
  • Period, T (s)

Available data:

  • m = 170 g
  • f = 2 Hz
  • t = 0 → x(t) = 5cm v(t) = -28 cm/s

(a) the period, T

T = 1/f

T = 1/2

T = 0.5 s

(b) the angular frequency, ω

ω = 2πf

ω = (2π)2Hz

ω = 12.56 rad/seg

(c) the amplitude, A

It can be cleared from the following displacement formula,

X = A sen (ω t + Φ)

First, we need to get Φ.

Φ = arctan (v/ωx) = tan⁻¹(v/ωx)

Φ = tan⁻¹(-28/12.56x5)

Φ = tan⁻¹(-28/62.8)

Φ = tan⁻¹(0.445)

Φ = 0.4186 rad

So now we can calculate A

X = A sen (ω t + Φ)

5 = A sen (12.56 x 0 + 0.4186)

5 = A sen (0.4186)

A = 5/cos(0.4186)

A = 5/0.913

A = 5.476 cm

(d) the phase constant, Φ

Φ = arctan (v/ωx) = tan⁻¹(v/ωx)

We did this in the previous step.

Φ = 0.4186 rad

(e) the maximum speed, Vmax

Vmax = A ω

Vmax = 5.476 x 12.56

Vmax = 68.778 cm/s

(f) the maximum acceleration

a = ω ² A

a = 12.56² x 5.476

a = 157.75 x 5.476

a = 863 m/s²

(g) the total energy

Total energy = kinetic energy + Potential energy = Ek + Ep

At x=0 ⇒ v=max, Ep = 0 ⇒ Et = Ek + Ep = Ek

Ek = 1/2 mv²

Ek = 1/2 (0.170 kg x 0.687²m/s)

Ek = 0.04012 J.

(h) the position at t = 0.4 s

X = A sen (ω t + Φ)

X = 5.476 cm sen (12.56 rad/seg x 0.4 + 0.4186 rad)

X = 5.476 sen (5.024 + 0.4186)

X = 5.476 sen (5.4426)

X = 4.08 cm
