A 456 g oscillator has a speed of 98.0 cm/s when its displacement is 3.00 cm and 69.0 cm/s when its displacement is 5.30 cm.

What is the oscillator's maximum speed?

Solutions

Expert Solution

A = amplitude of oscillations

x = displacement

w = angular frequency

v = speed of oscillator at any displacement

We know that .,

v = w sqrt(A2 - x2)

oscillator has a speed of 98.0 cm/s when its displacement is 3.00 cm , so

98 = w sqrt(A2 - 32)                                                  Eq-1

oscillator has a speed of 69.0 cm/s when its displacement is 5.30 cm , so

69 = w sqrt(A2 - 5.32)                                                 Eq-2

Dividing Eq-1 by Eq-2

98/69 = w sqrt(A2 - 32) /(w sqrt(A2 - 5.32))

98/69 = sqrt(A2 - 32) /(sqrt(A2 - 5.32))

A = 6.85 cm

Using Eq-1

98 = w sqrt(A2 - 32)  

98 = w sqrt(6.852 - 32)  

w = 15.91 rad/s

maximum speed is given as

Vmax = A w

Vmax = (6.85) (15.91)

Vmax = 108.98 cm/s

Vmax = 1.1 m/s

A block weighing 259 g slides along a frictionless track at a speed 6.1 cm/s. It then attaches to a spring-bumper with an electromagnetic device so that the block attaches to the bumper. The bumper has a mass of 130 g, and the spring has a stiffness of 1540 kg/s2 and an equilibrium length of 10.6 cm. After the spring compresses and returns to its original length, the magnet turns off and the block launches off again, conserving energy. (a)...
