"A particle with a mass of .7 kg is attached to a horizonal spring with a force constant of 40 N/m. At the moment t=0, the particle has its maximum speed of 30 m/s and is moving to the left, (assume right is positive direction). A) Determine the particles equation of motion, specifying its position as a function of time (X in meters and T is seconds, give angles in radians) B) where in the motion is the potential energy three times the kinetic energy? C) Find the length of a simple pendulum with the same period."
Gravitational force
In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is always attractive.
Acceleration Due to Gravity
In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the other hand, it has control over the trajectories of bodies in the solar system and in the universe due to its vast scope and universal action. The free fall of objects on Earth and the motions of celestial bodies, according to Newton, are both determined by the same force. It was Newton who put forward that the moon is held by a strong attractive force exerted by the Earth which makes it revolve in a straight line. He was sure that this force is similar to the downward force which Earth exerts on all the objects on it.
The Question is as follows, "A particle with a mass of .7 kg is attached to a horizonal spring with a force constant of 40 N/m. At the moment t=0, the particle has its maximum speed of 30 m/s and is moving to the left, (assume right is positive direction). A) Determine the particles equation of motion, specifying its position as a function of time (X in meters and T is seconds, give angles in radians) B) where in the motion is the potential energy three times the kinetic energy? C) Find the length of a simple pendulum with the same period."
