A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 3.00 cm. At what position does its speed equal half of is maximum speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x=±0.026m

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion the maximum value of the magnitude of velocity

[tex]v_{max}=wA=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }A[/tex]

The speed as a function of position for simple harmonic oscillator is given by

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

where A is amplitude of motion

Given data

Amplitude A=3 cm =0.03 m

v=(1/2)Vmax

To find

We have asked to find position x does its speed equal half of is maximum speed

Solution

The speed of the particle the maximum speed as:

[tex]v=\frac{V_{max} }{2}\\ w\sqrt{A^{2}-x^{2} }=\frac{wA}{2}\\ A^{2}-x^{2}=\frac{A^{2} }{4}\\ x^{2}=A^{2}- \frac{A^{2} }{4}\\ x^{2}=\frac{3A^{2}}{4} \\x=\sqrt{\frac{3A^{2}}{4}}[/tex]

x=±(√3(0.03)/2)

x=±0.026m

The position at which the speed equals half of is maximum speed is ±0.026m or ±2.6cm

Simple harmonic motion:

The instantaneous speed in the simple harmonic motion is given by:

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

where ω is the angular frequency, A is the amplitude = 3cm, and x is the instantaneous displacement.

The maximum speed is given by [tex]v_{max}=\omega A[/tex]

Now, the position at which the speed becomes half the maximum speed can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\frac{v_{max}}{2} =\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\\\frac{\omega A}{2}=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2} \\\\\frac{A^2}{4}=A^2-x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{3A^2}{4} }\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{3\times(3\times10^{-2})^2}{4} }\\\\x=0.026m\\or\\x=-0.026m[/tex]
