A mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. The system then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 1s. If that same mass–spring system is displaced from equilibrium by 10cm instead, what will its period be in this case?

Expert Solution

time period remain same = 1 sec

because
T = 2 pi (m/k)^1/2

does not depend on displacement
depends on mass and spring constant which are same in both cases

A simple pendulum is displaced to the left of its equilibrium position and is released from rest. Set the origin of the coordinate system at the equilibrium position of the pendulum, and let counterclockwise be the positive angular direction. Assume air resistance is so small that it can be ignored. Part A: Beginning the instant the pendulum is released, select the graph that best matches the angular position vs. time graph for the pendulum. Part B:Beginning the instant the object...

A mass of 20 grams stretches a spring 5cm. Suppose that the mass is also attached to a damper with constant coefficient 0.4 N·s/m. Initially the mass is pulled down an additional 2cm and released. Write a differential equation for the position u(t) of the mass at time t (make the units meters, kilograms, Newtons, seconds). Do NOT solve the differential equation. The solution to a differential equation that models a vibrating spring is u(t) = 4e−t cos(3t) + 3e−t...

An object with m1 = 5kg is attached to a spring of negligible mass. This mass/spring combination is then slid horizontally on a frictionless surface with a velocity of 5m/s towards a stationary object with m2 = 6kg. Upon impact, the spring compresses, then we examine two cases. First, find the velocities of the two objects assuming the spring completely relaxes again after the interaction. Second, assume that m2, after they separate, slides up a frictionless incline. (a) What is...
