An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the mark and the mark on the track. The glider completes oscillations in . What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) angular frequency, (d) amplitude, and (e) maximum speed of the glider?
FIGURE Q15.9 shows the potential-energy diagram and the total energy line of a particle oscillating on a spring.
a. What is the spring's equilibrium length?
b. Where are the turning points of the motion? Explain.
c. What is the particle's maximum kinetic energy?
d. What will be the turning points if the particle's total energy is doubled?
A uniform rod of mass and length swings as a pendulum on a pivot at distance from one end of the rod. Find an expression for the frequency of small-angle oscillations.
On your first trip to Planet you happen to take along a mass, a -long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You’re curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet , where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can’t find this information in your Visitor’s Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by . You then pull the mass down and release it. With the stopwatch you find that oscillations take . Based on this information, what is ?
