Q. A small mass attached to a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 50mm. It takes 30 seconds to complete 10 oscillations. Calculate its period, angular velocity, maximum speed and the maximum acceleration.
Calculate Period: To find the period (T) of the oscillation, we need to divide the total time taken by the number of oscillations.Total time for 10 oscillations = 30 secondsNumber of oscillations = 10Period (T) = Total time for 10 oscillations / Number of oscillations
Calculate Angular Velocity: Calculating the period:T=10 oscillations30 seconds=3 seconds per oscillation
Find Maximum Speed: Next, we calculate the angular velocity (ω), which is given by the formula ω=T2π.
Calculate Maximum Acceleration: Calculating the angular velocity: $\omega = \frac{\(2\)\pi}{T} = \frac{\(2\)\pi}{\(3\)} \text{ seconds} \approx \(2\).\(0944\) \text{ radians per second}
Calculate Maximum Acceleration: Calculating the angular velocity:\(\newline\)\(\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \) seconds \(\approx 2.0944\) radians per secondTo find the maximum speed (\(v_{\text{max}}\)), we use the formula \(v_{\text{max}} = \omega \times A\), where \(A\) is the amplitude.\(\newline\)Amplitude (\(A\)) = \(50\)mm = \(0.05\)m (since we need to work in SI units)
Calculate Maximum Acceleration: Calculating the angular velocity: \(\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \text{ seconds} \approx 2.0944 \text{ radians per second}\)To find the maximum speed \((v_{\text{max}})\), we use the formula \(v_{\text{max}} = \omega \times A\), where \(A\) is the amplitude. Amplitude \((A) = 50\text{mm} = 0.05\text{m}\) (since we need to work in SI units)Calculating the maximum speed: \(v_{\text{max}} = \omega \times A = 2.0944 \text{ radians/second} \times 0.05\text{m} \approx 0.10472 \text{ meters per second}\)
