Consider four different oscillating systems, indexed using i=1,2,3,4 . Each system consists of a block of mass mimi moving at speed vi on a frictionless surface while attached to an ideal, horizontally fixed spring with a force constant of ki . Let x denote the displacement of the block from its equilibrium position. Order the systems from largest total mechanical energy to smallest.

Respuesta :

1) m1= 0.5KG k2=500 N/m amplitude A = 0.02 m

2)m2= 0.6KG k2=300 N/m v2= 1 m/s . when passing through equilibrium

3) m3= 1.2KG k3=400 N/m v3= 0.5 m/s . when passing through x= -0.01 m

4) m4= 2 KG k4=200 N/m v4= 0.2 m/s . when passing through x=-0.05 m

Answer:

M2>M4>M3>M1

Explanation:

[tex]E=0.5(kx^{2}+mv^{2})[/tex]

For m1

[tex]E1=0.5*500*0.02^{2}=0.1 J[/tex] since v=0

For m2

[tex]E2=0.5*0.6*1^{2}=0.35 J[/tex] since x=0

For m3

[tex]E=0.5[(400*(0.01)^{2})+(1.2*0.5^{2})]=0.17 J[/tex]

For m4

[tex]E4=0.5[(200*0.05^{2})+(2*0.2^{2})]=0.29 J[/tex]

Therefore, M2>M4>M3>M1

The arrangement of total mechanical energy of the system from the largest to smallest depends on the mass, speed and displacement of each mass.

The given parameters;

  • spring constant, = k
  • displacement of the blocks from equilibrium position, = x
  • speed of each mass, = v₀

The displacement of each block is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

[tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\mv^2 = kx^2\\\\x^2 = \frac{mv^2}{k} \\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k} }[/tex]

The total mechanical energy at any point during the oscillation is given as;

[tex]E = K.E + U_x\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kx^2[/tex]

The total mechanical energy of each system depends on the mass, speed and displacement of each mass.

Thus, we can conclude that the arrangement of total mechanical energy of the system from the largest to smallest depends on the mass, speed and displacement of each mass.
