A particle of mass 0.50   kg executes simple harmonic motion under force F = 50 ( Nm 1 ) x . The time period of oscillation is x 35 s . The value of x is _________.

(Given π = 22 7 )

Correct answer is 22

To find the value of x that represents the time period of oscillation in this simple harmonic motion (SHM) scenario, we first recall the general formula for the time period ( T ) of a mass-spring system undergoing SHM, which is given by:

T = 2 π m k

Here,

m is the mass of the particle, which is 0.50 kg in this case,

k is the force constant of the spring or the spring constant, which is given as 50 Nm 1 ,

and T represents the time period of oscillation.

Given in the problem, T = x 35 s and we are provided with the approximation π = 22 7 .

Substituting the given values into the formula for T :

x 35 = 2 × 22 7 × 0.50 50

To simplify this, we first calculate the square root:

0.50 50 = 1 100 = 1 10

Substituting back, we get:

x 35 = 2 × 22 7 × 1 10

Multiplying the terms on the right side:

x 35 = 44 70

x 35 = 22 35

Multiplying both sides by 35 to solve for x :

x = 22

Therefore, the value of x that represents the time period of oscillation is 22 seconds.

The position, velocity and acceleration of a particle executing simple harmonic motion are found to have magnitudes of 4   m , 2   ms 1 and 16   ms 2 at a certain instant. The amplitude of the motion is x ,   m where x is _________.

Correct answer is 17

Let's begin by understanding the equations related to simple harmonic motion (SHM). For a particle executing SHM, the position x , velocity v , and acceleration a are given by the following equations:

1. Position: x = A cos ( ω t + ϕ )

2. Velocity: v = A ω sin ( ω t + ϕ )

3. Acceleration: a = A ω 2 cos ( ω t + ϕ )

Here, A is the amplitude of the motion, ω is the angular frequency, and ϕ is the phase constant.

Given the magnitudes at a certain instant:

x = 4 m

v = 2 ms 1

a = 16 ms 2

Using the acceleration equation:

a = A ω 2 cos ( ω t + ϕ )

Since we’re given the magnitude of the acceleration, we remove the negative sign:

16 = A ω 2 cos ( ω t + ϕ )

Using the position equation:

x = A cos ( ω t + ϕ )

We already know x = 4 m , so:

4 = A cos ( ω t + ϕ )

From these two equations, we know:

A ω 2 cos ( ω t + ϕ ) = 16

A cos ( ω t + ϕ ) = 4

Therefore:

A ω 2 4 / A = 16

4 ω 2 = 16

ω 2 = 4

ω = 2 rad / s

Next, using the velocity equation:

v = A ω sin ( ω t + ϕ )

Again, we consider the magnitude:

2 = A 2 sin ( ω t + ϕ )

2 = 2 A sin ( ω t + ϕ )

sin ( ω t + ϕ ) = 1 A

We know from the position equation that:

cos ( ω t + ϕ ) = 4 A

Using the identity sin 2 ( θ ) + cos 2 ( θ ) = 1 , we get:

( 1 A ) 2 + ( 4 A ) 2 = 1

1 A 2 + 16 A 2 = 1

17 A 2 = 1

A 2 = 17

A = 17 m

Therefore, the amplitude of the motion is 17 m , meaning x is 17.

A particle is doing simple harmonic motion of amplitude 0.06   m and time period 3.14   s . The maximum velocity of the particle is _________ cm / s .

Correct answer is 12

For a particle performing simple harmonic motion (SHM), the maximum velocity v m a x can be calculated using the formula:

v m a x = A ω

where A is the amplitude of the motion and ω is the angular frequency. The angular frequency ω is related to the time period T by the formula:

ω = 2 π T

Given:

  • Amplitude, A = 0.06 m

  • Time period, T = 3.14 s

First, we find the angular frequency:

ω = 2 π T = 2 π 3.14

Substituting ω and A in the formula for v m a x :

v m a x = A ω = 0.06 × 2 π 3.14

v m a x = 0.06 × 2 × 3.14 3.14

v m a x = 0.06 × 2

v m a x = 0.12 m / s

To convert meters per second to centimeters per second, we use the conversion factor 1 m / s = 100 cm / s . Therefore,

v m a x = 0.12 m / s × 100 cm / m = 12 cm / s

Thus, the maximum velocity of the particle is 12 cm / s .

The displacement of a particle executing SHM is given by x = 10 sin ( w t + π 3 ) m . The time period of motion is 3.14   s . The velocity of the particle at t = 0 is _______ m / s .

Correct answer is 10

The displacement of a particle executing Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) can be expressed as:

x = A sin ( ω t + ϕ )

Where:

A is the amplitude of the SHM,

ω is the angular frequency,

t is the time,

ϕ is the phase constant (phase angle at t = 0 ).

In the given equation, x = 10 sin ( ω t + π 3 ) m, the amplitude A = 10 m and the phase constant ϕ = π 3 . The time period T = 3.14 s is given, from which we can find the angular frequency ω using the relationship:

ω = 2 π T

Substituting the given T = 3.14 s:

ω = 2 π 3.14 2 rad/s

To find the velocity of the particle, we differentiate the displacement x with respect to time t . The derivative of the displacement gives the velocity:

v = d x d t

So, for x = 10 sin ( ω t + π 3 ) :

v = d d t [ 10 sin ( ω t + π 3 ) ]

Applying differentiation, we get:

v = 10 ω cos ( ω t + π 3 )

Plug in the value of ω = 2 rad/s and evaluate it at t = 0 to find the initial velocity:

v = 10 2 cos ( 2 0 + π 3 )

v = 20 cos ( π 3 )

cos ( π 3 ) = 1 2 , therefore:

v = 20 1 2 = 10 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the particle at t = 0 is 10 m/s.

A particle performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude A . Its speed is increased to three times at an instant when its displacement is 2 A 3 . The new amplitude of motion is n A 3 . The value of n is ___________.

Correct answer is 7

To find the new amplitude of the motion when the speed is increased to three times at a given displacement, we use the concepts of simple harmonic motion (SHM) and its formulas.

In SHM, the velocity v of a particle at a displacement x from the mean position can be given by the formula:

v = ω A 2 x 2

where:

  • ω is the angular frequency of the motion,
  • A is the amplitude, and
  • x is the displacement at that instance.

Given:

  • Displacement at the instance, x = 2 A 3 ,
  • Initial velocity is increased to three times at this displacement.

Thus, let's find the initial velocity v at x = 2 A 3 :

v = ω A 2 ( 2 A 3 ) 2 = ω A 2 4 A 2 9 = ω 5 A 2 9 = 5 A ω 3

With the velocity increased to three times, the new velocity v becomes:

v = 3 v = 3 × 5 A ω 3 = 5 A ω

For the new amplitude A , the velocity v at the same displacement x is:

v = ω A 2 ( 2 A 3 ) 2

Setting the expressions for v equal gives:

5 A ω = ω A 2 4 A 2 9

5 A = A 2 4 A 2 9

Solving for A gives:

A 2 = 5 A 2 + 4 A 2 9 = 45 A 2 + 4 A 2 9 = 49 A 2 9

A = 49 A 2 9 = 7 A 3

Therefore, the new amplitude of the motion is 7 A 3 , which means the value of n is 7.
