An object is undergoing SHM with period 0.300 s and amplitude 6.00 cm. At t = 0 the object is instantaneously at rest at x = 6.00 cm. Calculate the time it takes the object to go from x = 6.00 cm to x = -1.50 cm

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time taken is 0.087 s

Solution:

As per the question:

Time period, T = 0.300 s

Amplitude, A = 6.00 cm

Now,

To calculate the time taken:

For SHM, we know that:

[tex]x = Acos\omega t[/tex]                               (1)

At x = 6.00 cm, the object comes to rest instantaneously at times t = 0.00 s

Thus from eqn (1), for x = 6.00  cm:

[tex]6.00 = 6.00cos\omega t[/tex]

[tex]cos\omega t = 1[/tex]

[tex]\omega t = cos^{- 1}(1)[/tex]

[tex]\omega t = 0[/tex]

Thus at t = 0.00 s, x = 6.00 cm

Now,

Using eqn (1) for x = - 1.50 cm:

[tex]- 1.50 = 6.00cos\omega t'[/tex]

[tex]cos\omega t' = -0.25[/tex]

We know that:

[tex]\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\frac{2\pi}{0.300} t' = cos^{- 1}(0.25)[/tex]

[tex]t' = 0.087\ s[/tex]

Time taken by the object in moving from x = 6.00 cm to x = 1.50 cm:

t' - t = 0.087 - 0.00 = 0.087 s

The time it takes the object to go from x = 6.00 cm to x = -1.50 cm is 0.063 s.

The given parameters;

  • period of oscillation, T = 0.3 s
  • amplitude of the oscillation, A = 6 cm

The general wave equation is given as;

[tex]y = A cos\ \omega t\\\\6 = 6 cos\ \omega (t)\\\\cos \ \omega t = \frac{6}{6} \\\\cos \ \omega t = 1\\\\\omega t = cos^{-1} \\\\\omega t = 0[/tex]

Thus, at x = 6 cm, t = 0 s

When x = -1.5 cm, the time t = ?

[tex]1.5 \ = 6cos\ \omega t_2\\\\cos\ \omega t_2 = \frac{1.5}{6} \\\\cos\ \omega t_2 = 0.25\\\\\omega t_2 = cos^{-1} (0.25)\\\\\omega t_2 = 1.32\\\\t_2 = \frac{1.32}{\omega} \\\\t_2 = \frac{1.32 \ \times T}{2\pi} \\\\t_2 = \frac{1.32 \times 0.3}{2\pi } \\\\t_2 = 0.063 \ s[/tex]

The time taken from 6 cm to 1.5 cm

t = 0.063 s - 0

t = 0.063 s.

Thus, the time it takes the object to go from x = 6.00 cm to x = -1.50 cm is 0.063 s.
