A body like that shown in Fig. 14.2 oscillates back and forth. For each of the following values of the body’s x-velocity vx and x-acceleration ax, state whether its displacement x is positive, negative, or zero. (a) vx > 0 and ax > 0; (b) vx > 0 and ax < 0; (c) vx < 0 and ax > 0; (d) vx < 0 and ax < 0; (e) vx = 0 and ax < 0; (f) vx > 0 and ax = 0.

- The position of an oscillating object in m is described by x = 3.50 cos πt, where t is in seconds. What is the acceleration of the particle at x = 2.10 m?arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle performing S.H.M. is 3n cm/s when its displacement is V 12 cm. If the maximum acceleration of the particle is 9n ? cm/s?, find the frequency and amplitude of its oscillations.arrow_forward11.6 The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x = – 9² + 24t - 8, where x and t are expressed in inches and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero, (b) the posi- tion and the total distance traveled when the acceleration is zero.arrow_forward

- Hello, can you also please include the formula that you used to solve this problem? Thank you!arrow_forwardA conical pendulum consists of a bob (small mass at end of massless rope) that moves in a horizontal circle at constant speed (the cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates). Here the angle θ = 18.92°, the length l= 2.59 m, and the bob has an unknown mass. (a)Find the speed of the bob. (b)Find the periodof the motion.arrow_forwardFor a simple harmonic oscillator, answer yes or no to the following questions, (a) Can the quantities position and velocity have the same sign? (b) Can velocity and acceleration have the same sign? (c) Can position and acceleration have the same sign?arrow_forward
- In taking your pulse, you count 75 heartbeats in 1 min. What are the period (in s) and frequency (in Hz) of your heart’s oscillations?arrow_forwardThe mine skip is being hauled to the surface over the curved track by the cable wound around the 36-in. drum, which turns at the constant clockwise speed of 114 rev/min. The shape of the track is designed so that y = x²/49, where x and y are in feet. Calculate the magnitude of the total acceleration of the skip as it reaches a level of 1.8 ft below the top. Neglect the dimensions of the skip compared with those of the path. Recall that the radius of curvature is given by Answer: a = i p= 1+ dy 23/2 dx d²y dx² 36" ft/sec²arrow_forwardA 7 kg mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 7 Hz. At t =0 s, the mass is at x= 6 m and has vx =− 8 m/s. What is the period (in seconds)?arrow_forward
