Question
A 3.0 kg particle is in
dimension and moves according to the equation
x = (5.0 m) cos[(p/3 rad/s)t - p/4 rad],
with t in seconds. (a) At what value of x is the potential energy of the
particle equal to half the total energy? (b) How long does the particle
take to move to this position x from the equilibrium position?

Let x be the displacement, where x = 0 is the equilibrium position and x > 0 when the spring is stretched. The object is pushed, and the spring compressed, until xi = −4.00 cm. It then is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion. How fast is the object moving (in m/s) when the spring is momentarily compressed by 1.30 cm (that is, when x = −1.30 cm)? How fast is the object moving (in m/s) whenever the spring is extended by 1.30 cm (that is, when passing through x = +1.30 cm)?arrow_forward
