A metal object with a mass 5.50 kg is connected to a spring with a force constant of 225 N/m, and it oscillates horizontally with an amplitude of 4.20 cm. (a) What is the total mechanical energy (in J) of the object-spring system? (b) What is the maximum speed (in m/s) of the oscillating object? m/s (c) What is the maximum magnitude of acceleration (in m/s) of the oscillating object? m/s²

Respuesta :

a) Total mechanical energy of the object-spring system = 0.198 J

b) Maximum speed of the oscillating object = 0.269 m/s

c) Maximum magnitude of acceleration of the oscillating object = 1.72 m/s2

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both.

Mass of the object = m = 5.5 kg

Force constant of the spring = k = 225 N/m

Amplitude of the motion = A = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m

Total mechanical energy of the object-spring system = E

Total mechanical energy is equal to the maximum potential the spring can store in this motion.

(a) [tex]$E=\frac{1}{2} \times 300 \times 0.037^2$[/tex]

[tex]$E=0.20535 \text { Joules }$[/tex]

Maxmium speed, [tex]$v_{\max }=$[/tex] AeO

[tex]$\begin{gathered}\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{300}{5.5}} \\\omega=7.3855 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\v_{\max }=0.037 \times 7.3855 \\V=0.273 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{gathered}$[/tex]

(C) Maximim acceleration, [tex]$a_m=A \omega^2$[/tex]

[tex]$\begin{aligned}a_{\max } & =0.037 \times 7.3855^2 \\a_{\max } & =2.018 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\end{aligned}$[/tex]
