Check Your Understanding Why would it hurt more if you snapped your hand with a ruler than with a loose spring, even if the displacement of each system is equal?
Let the initial position and speed of an overdamped, nondriven oscillator be x0 and v0, respectively. (a) Show that the values of the amplitudes A1 and A2 in Equation 3.44 have the values A1=2x0+v021 and A2=1x0+v021 where 1 = 2 and 2 = + 2. (b) Show that when A1 = 0, the phase paths of Figure 3-11 must be along the dashed curve given by x=2x, otherwise the asymptotic paths are along the other dashed curve given by x=1x. Hint: Note that 2 1 and find the asymptotic paths when t .
Show that, if a driven oscillator is only lightly damped and driven near resonance, the Q of the system is approximately Q2(TotalenergyEnergylossduringoneperiod)
Some people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.
The equation of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator is s(t) = Ae^(−kt) sin(ωt + δ),where A, k, ω, δ are constants. (This represents, for example, the position of springrelative to its rest position if it is restricted from freely oscillating as it normally would).(a) Find the velocity of the oscillator at any time t.(b) At what time(s) is the oscillator stopped?
Since the speed is not 0 when the block is pushed away from the spring, how can we know if the block stops in the section CD, or if it passes this section and go in the ramp and then back again in direction to the spring? could the block go back and forward a few times before a complete stop somewhere in the CD section?
In the case of a damped pendulum, how would the dyanmics change as a fixed point varied from being a stable spiral, to a stable degenerate node, to a stable node? I know that all the trajectories continue to lose altitude, and that the pendulum goes from whirling clockwise over the top, loses energy, settles to a small oscillation, and eventually comes to rest at the bottom, but wasn't sure if this general description changes based on the variation of fixed points.
Two identical masses are connected to spring with force constants k and 16k, displaced identically, andreleased. If the shorter time period is 1 s, when will they first return to their starting positions at the sametime? How many oscillations would each have completed at this time?
A spring- masssystem is executingSHM when a 2.0 kgobject is attached toits end. The springconstant is 250.N/m. When theobject is 0.015meter fromequilibrium position, it is moving witha speed of 0.45 m/s.a) Find theamplitude in meterb) Find themaximum velocityof the object in m/s
Hi, I am in phyiscs one and they have the problem :When you stand on a trampoline, the surface depresses below equilibrium, and the surface pushes up on you, as the data for a real trampoline in (Figure 1) show. The linear variation of the force as a function of distance means that we can model the restoring force as that of a spring. A 72 kg gymnast jumps on the trampoline. At the lowest point of his motion, he is 0.80 m below equilibrium. If we assume that all of the energy stored in the trampoline goes into his motion, how high above this lowest point will he rise? Please break down this problem in a simple way so I can understand for the steps. Thank you!
An object, at position Q, is not in motion as shownin the figure. The strings are light and if the horizontal stringis severed, the object swings as a pendulum. If Point T is thefarthest as it oscillates, what is the ratio of the tension in thesupporting string in T to its value at Q before the horizontalstring was severed?
A mass m sits motionless on a frictionless incline that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. It is attached to a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is unstretched on a flat surface, it has a length x0. In the setup shown, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the mass by the spring?
