Show that the function x(t) = A cos ω1t oscillates with a frequency ν = ω1/2π. What is the frequency of oscillation of the square of this function, y(t) = [A cos ω1t]2? Show that y(t) can also be written as y(t) = B cos ω2t + C and find the constants B, C, and ω2 in terms of A and ω1
After a long space trip where you are in stasis, your autonomous ship lands you on a planet you don’t recognize. Having the equipment on board the ship to make a pendulum, you put one together with a bob of mass 25 g and a length of 50 cm. You find the period to be 1.4 s. Are you on earth? If not, is the planet you are on more or less massive than earth?
A spring oscillator has a mass of 1.5 kg and a spring of 5 N/m. It’s period is ____ s (2 SF, nearest tenth second)
A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down oscillation is given by the equation T = 2л√/m/k, where k is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this equation to be dimensionally correct? O [T] O [T]² O [M] O [M]/[T] O [T]/[M] O [M]/[T]² O [T]²/[M]
A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?
A mass on a spring oscillates with a period of 2.2 s. (a) Where is the mass at t=8.3s if it starts from rest at x=5.0cm at t=0? (b) In what direction is the mass moving at t = 8.3 s? (c) What is the speed of the mass at t=8.3s?
