Problem 13P
Amass on a spring osculates with simple harmonic motion of amplitude A about the equilibrium position x = 0. Its maximum speed is vmax and its maximum acceleration is amax. (a) What is the speed of the mass at x =0? (b) What is the acceleration of the mass at x =0? (c) What is the speed of the mass at x = A? (d) What is the acceleration of the mass at x = A?
ANSWER:
a.)
Step 1 of 4
We have to find the speed of the mass at which oscillates with simple harmonic motion of amplitude about the equilibrium position .
The speed of the mass at is equal to its maximum speed. Now the maximum speed of the mass is .
Hence,
Therefore, the speed of the mass at is .
