Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 95GP
Imagine that a 10-cm-diameter circular hole was drilled all the way through the center of the Earth (Fig. 14–44). At one end of the hole, you drop an apple into the hole. Show that, if you assume that the Earth has a constant density, the subsequent motion of the apple is simple harmonic. How long will the apple take to return? Assume that we can ignore all frictional effects. [Hint: See Appendix D.]

Why?arrow_forwardSome people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- The amplitude of a lightly damped oscillator decreases by 3.0% during each cycle. What percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator is lost in each cycle?arrow_forwardRefer to the problem of the two coupled oscillators discussed in Section 12.2. Show that the total energy of the system is constant. (Calculate the kinetic energy of each of the particles and the potential energy stored in each of the three springs, and sum the results.) Notice that the kinetic and potential energy terms that have 12 as a coefficient depend on C1 and 2 but not on C2 or 2. Why is such a result to be expected?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Identify an object that undergoes uniform circular motion. Describe how you could trace the SHM of this object.arrow_forward
- Consider a damped harmonic oscillator. After four cycles the amplitude of the oscillator has dropped to 1/e of its initial value. Find the ratio of the frequency of the damped oscillator to its natural frequency.arrow_forwardA 100-N weight is attached to a free end of a metallic wire that hangs from the ceiling. When a second 100-N weight is added to the wire, it stretches 3.0 mm. The diameter and the length of the wire are 1.0 mm and2.0 m, respectively. What is Young’s modulus of the metal used to manufacture the wire?arrow_forwardYou are working in an observatory, taking data on electromagnetic radiation from neutron stars. You happen to be analyzing results from the neutron star in Example 11.6, verifying that the period of the 10.0-km-radius neutron star is indeed 2.6 s. You go through weeks of data showing the same period. Suddenly, as you analyze the most recent data, you notice that the period has decreased to 2.3 s and remained at that level since that time. You ask your supervisor about this, who becomes excited and says that the neutron star must have undergone a glitch, which is a sudden shrinking of the radius of the star, resulting in a higher angular speed. As she runs to her computer to start writing a paper on the glitch, she calls back to you to calculate the new radius of the planet, assuming it has remained spherical. She is also talking about vortices and a superfluid core, but you dont understand those words.arrow_forward
- If the amplitude of a damped oscillator decreases to 1/e of its initial value after n periods, show that the frequency of the oscillator must be approximately [1 − (8π2n2)−1] times the frequency of the corresponding undamped oscillator.arrow_forwardIn an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression x=5.00cos(2t+6) where x is in centimeters and t is in seconds. At t = 0, find (a) the position of the piston, (b) its velocity, and (c) its acceleration. Find (d) the period and (e) the amplitude of the motion.arrow_forwardIf the speed of the observer is increased by 5.0%, what is the period of the pendulum when measured by this observer?arrow_forward
