Question
"At t = 0, a 785-g mass at rest on the end of a horizontalspring (k = 184 N/m) is struck by a hammer whichgives it an initial speed of 2.26 m/s. Determine (a) theperiod and frequency of the motion, (b) the amplitude,(c) the maximum acceleration, (d) the position as a functionof time, (e) the total energy, and ( /) the kinetic energy whenx = 0.40A where A is the amplitude."
Solution
The first step in solving 14 problem number 39 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: "At t = 0, a 785-g mass at rest on the end of a horizontalspring (k = 184 N/m) is struck by a hammer whichgives it an initial speed of 2.26 m/s. Determine (a) theperiod and frequency of the motion, (b) the amplitude,(c) the maximum acceleration, (d) the position as a functionof time, (e) the total energy, and ( /) the kinetic energy whenx = 0.40A where A is the amplitude."
From the textbook chapter Oscillations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
