Find the speed with which the object passes through its original position on the way up. (2.1 ms/) 9. If you double the amplitude of a simple harmonic motion, how does this change the frequency, maximum velocity, maximum acceleration and the total mechanical energy of the medium particles? (f = same, vmax doubles amax doubles, Emech four times ) on spring. 10.theWhat should be the length of stick to a pendulum for which the period is to be 1.00 s in a place where g = 9.81 m/s? (0.25 m)
11. A pendulum makes 200 complete swings in 2 min 30 sec. Find the period and frequency. (T = 0.8) (T = 0.8 s f = 1 Hz)
3. The figures shows the shadow of an object in circular motion as the shadow moves in simple harmonic motion. Where on the shadow's path is :
12. A pendulum with a length of 200 cm vibrates with a period of 2.82 s. What is the value of the acceleration of gravity in that location? (9.93 m/s2)
a) the velocity equal to zero b) the acceleration equal to zero?
13. A pendulum has a length of 150 cm and a bob of 100 g and vibrates with a period of T = 2.44 s. a) What is the value of the acceleration of gravity in that location? (9.93 m/s2) b) The pendulum is displaced to the side through an angle of 10.0o. What is the restoring force on the bob? (0.172 N) c) What is the velocity of the bob as it moves through the equilibrium point of its vibration? (0.673 m/s)
4. A 2.0 N force was used to hold a 300 g object attached to a spring 10 cm from equilibrium. The object is then pulled down, released and allowed to vibrate. a) What is the spring constant? (20 N/m) b) What is the frequency and period of the object? (1.3 Hz)
