- Review. A simple pendulum is 5.00 m long. What is the period of small oscillations for this pendulum if it is located in an elevator (a) accelerating upward at 5.00 m/s2? (b) Accelerating downward at 5.00 m/s2? (c) What is the period of this pendulum if it is placed in a truck that is accelerating horizontally at 5.00 m/s2?arrow_forwardA small object is attached to the end of a string to form a simple pendulum. The period of its harmonic motion is measured for small angular displacements and three lengths. For lengths of 1.000 m, 0.750 m, and 0.500 m, total time intervals for 50 oscillations of 99.8 s, 86.6 s, and 71.1s are measured with a stopwatch. (a) Determine the period of motion for each length. (b) Determine the mean value of g obtained from these three independent measurements and compare it with the accepted value. (c) Plot T2 versus L and obtain a value for g from the slope of your best-fit straight-line graph. (d) Compare the value found in part (c) with that obtained in part (b).arrow_forwardSome people think a pendulum with a period of 1.00 s can be driven with “mental energy” or psycho kinetically, because its period is the same as an average heartbeat. True or not, what is the length of such a pendulum?arrow_forward
- A very light rigid rod of length 0.500 m extends straight out from one end of a meter-stick. The combination is suspended from a pivot at the upper end of the rod as shown in Figure P12.31. The combination is then pulled out by a small angle and released. (a) Determine the period of oscillation of the system. (b) By what percentage does the period differ from the period of a simple pendulum 1.00 m long? Figure P12.31arrow_forwardFour people, each with a mass of 72.4 kg, are in a car with a mass of 1 130 kg. An earthquake strikes. The vertical oscillations of the ground surface make the car bounce up and down on its suspension springs, but the driver manages to pull off the road and stop. When the frequency of the shaking is 1.80 Hz, the car exhibits a maximum amplitude of vibration. The earthquake ends and the four people leave the car as fast as they can. By what distance does the cars undamaged suspension lift the cars body as the people get out?arrow_forwardIt is important for astronauts in space to monitor their body weight. In Earth orbit, a simple scale only reads an apparent weight of zero, so another method is needed. NASA developed the body mass measuring device (BMMD) for Skylab astronauts. The BMMD is a spring-mounted chair that oscillates in simple harmonic motion (Fig. P16.23). From the period of the motion, the mass of the astronaut can be calculated. In a typical system, the chair has a period of oscillation of 0.901 s when empty. The spring constant is 606 N/m. When a certain astronaut sits in the chair, the period of oscillation increases to 2.37 s. Determine the mass of the astronaut. FIGURE P16.23arrow_forward

Dissipative forces between the car and the plane are negligible.arrow_forwardA 200-g block is attached to a horizontal spring and executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.250 s. The total energy of the system is 2.00 J. Find (a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.arrow_forwardA block with mass m = 0.1 kg oscillates with amplitude .A = 0.1 in at the end of a spring with force constant k = 10 N/m on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Rank the periods of the following situations from greatest to smallest. If any periods are equal, show their equality in your tanking, (a) The system is as described above, (b) The system is as described in situation (a) except the amplitude is 0.2 m. (c) The situation is as described in situation (a) except the mass is 0.2 kg. (d) The situation is as described in situation (a) except the spring has force constant 20 N/m. (e) A small resistive force makes the motion underdamped.arrow_forward
- A 2.00-kg block lies at rest on a frictionless table. A spring, with a spring constant of 100 N/m is attached to the wall and to the block. A second block of 0.50 kg is placed on top of the first block. The 2.00-kg block is gently pulled to a position x=+A and released from rest. There is a coefficient of friction of 0.45 between the two blocks. (a) What is the period of the oscillations? (b) What is the largest amplitude of motion that will allow the blocks to oscillate without the 0.50-kg block sliding off?arrow_forwardThe top end of a spring is held fixed. A block is hung on the bottom end as in Figure OQ15.13a, and the frequency f of the oscillation of the system is measured. The block, a second identical block, and the spring are carried up in a space shuttle to Earth orbit. The two blocks are attached to the ends of the spring. The spring is compressed without making adjacent coils touch (Fig. OQ15.13b), and the system is released to oscillate while floating within the shuttle cabin (Fig. OQ15.13C). What is the frequency of oscillation for this system in terms of f? (a) f/2 (b) f/ 2 (c) f (d) 2/ (e) 2farrow_forwardFour people, each with a mass of 72.4 kg, are in a car with a mass of 1 130 kg.
