Concept explainers
The motion of a mass on a spring hung vertically, where the mass oscillates up and down, can also be modeled using the rotating disk. Instead of the lights being placed horizontally along the top and pointing down, place the lights vertically and have the lights shine on the side of the rotating disk. A shadow will be produced on a nearby wall, and will move up and down. Write the equations of motion for the shadow taking the position at

It has velocity v=0, at positions x=0 cm and 12 cm, and completes one full cycle in 2 seconds. Write the position and velocity kinematic equations for this oscillating system, including the phase constant.arrow_forwardNote: Because the argument of the trigonometric functions in this problem will be unitless, your calculator must be in radian mode if you use it to evaluate any trigonometric functions. You will likely need to switch your calculator back into degree mode after this problem.A massless spring is hanging vertically. With no load on the spring, it has a length of 0.24 m. When a mass of 0.59 kg is hung on it, the equilibrium length is 0.98 m. At t=0, the mass (which is at the equilibrium point) is given a velocity of 4.84 m/s downward. At t=0.32s, what is the acceleration of the mass? (Positive for upward acceleration, negative for downward)arrow_forward
