A 0.750kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.5N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 32.0cm/s .

What are :

A) The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

B) The block's speed at the point where x= 0.750 A?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A)A=0.075 m

B)v= 0.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.75 kg

K= 13.5 N

The natural frequency of the block given as

[tex]\omega =\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}[/tex]

The maximum speed v given as

[tex]v=\omega A[/tex]

A=Amplitude

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times A[/tex]

[tex]0.32=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times A[/tex]

A=0.075 m

A= 0.75 cm

The speed at distance x

[tex]v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times \sqrt{A^2-x^2}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times \sqrt{0.075^2-(0.075\times 0.75)^2}[/tex]

v= 0.21 m/s
