Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6: Oscillations**
A mass \( m \) is attached to a spring with spring constant \( k \) on a frictionless table. We stretch and release it a distance \( x_0 \) away from the resting position.
- **(a)** Sketch the position, velocity, and acceleration plots (time on \( x \)-axis).
- **(b)** What is the period if:
- (i) the mass is doubled,
- (ii) the spring constant is quadrupled,
- (iii) or we double \( x_0 \) but the mass and spring constant remain unchanged?
- **(c)** On one plot, sketch the total energy, kinetic energy, and elastic energy with time on the \( x \)-axis.
- **(d)** When the mass is at the position \(-x_0/3\), what is the velocity?
- **(e)** At what distance will the speed of the mass be half of its maximum speed?

- Using the spring force, F = -kx, calculate: a) The work done by an external force stretching the spring a distance L away from the equilibrium length. b) At a stretch length L, how much potential energy is stored in the spring? If a mass m is attached to the spring and released from a stretch length L, what is the maximum velocity c) of the mass? d) At what x coordinate does this maximum velocity occur?arrow_forwardA clock is constructed so that it keeps perfect time when its simple pendulum has a period of exactly 1.000 s. The pendulum bob has length L = 0.2483 m and, instead of keeping perfect time, the clock runs slow by 1.506 minutes per day. (a) What is the free-fall acceleration (in m/s2) at the clock's location? (Give your answer to at least 3 decimal places.) ?m/s2 (b) What length of pendulum bob (in m) is required for the clock to keep perfect time?
