Capitolo 14, Problema 26

A small block is attached to an ideal spring and is moving in SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The amplitude of the motion is 0.250 m and the period is 3.20 s. What are the speed and acceleration of the block when x = 0.160 m?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Start by understanding the problem: We have a block undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) with a given amplitude and period. We need to find the speed and acceleration at a specific displacement.
Use the formula for the angular frequency \( \omega \) of SHM: \( \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \), where \( T \) is the period. Substitute \( T = 3.20 \) s to find \( \omega \).
The velocity \( v \) in SHM at a displacement \( x \) is given by \( v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2} \), where \( A \) is the amplitude. Substitute \( A = 0.250 \) m and \( x = 0.160 \) m to find the expression for \( v \).
The acceleration \( a \) in SHM at a displacement \( x \) is given by \( a = -\omega^2 x \). Substitute \( x = 0.160 \) m and the previously calculated \( \omega \) to find the expression for \( a \).
Review the signs and units: Ensure that the acceleration is negative, indicating it is directed towards the equilibrium position, and check that all units are consistent throughout the calculations.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

Simple Harmonic Motion is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement. It is characterized by sinusoidal oscillations, with parameters such as amplitude, period, and frequency defining the motion. In this scenario, the block's motion is governed by these principles.

Amplitude and Period

Amplitude in SHM is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, while the period is the time taken for one complete cycle of motion. Here, the amplitude is 0.250 m, indicating the furthest point from equilibrium, and the period is 3.20 s, which helps determine the frequency and angular frequency of the motion, crucial for calculating speed and acceleration.

Kinematics of SHM

The kinematics of SHM involves calculating the velocity and acceleration at any point in the motion. The velocity is maximum at the equilibrium position and zero at the amplitude, while acceleration is maximum at the amplitude and zero at equilibrium. Using the displacement (x = 0.160 m), we can apply SHM equations to find the instantaneous speed and acceleration of the block.
