When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 A, what percentage of the energy is kinetic energy? At what displacement, as a fraction of A, is the energy half kinetic and half potential?

Respuesta :

Answer:

75%

[tex]\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Explanation:

x = Displacement of spring = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}A=\dfrac{A}{2}[/tex]

k = Spring constant

Total energy of the spring is

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2[/tex]

Elastic potential energy is given by

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}k(\dfrac{A}{2})^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}k\dfrac{A^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{4}E[/tex]

Total energy is given by

[tex]E=U+K\\\Rightarrow K=E-U\\\Rightarrow K=E-\dfrac{1}{4}E\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{3}{4}E\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{K}{E}=0.75[/tex]

The percentage will be

[tex]\dfrac{K}{E}=0.75\times 100\%\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{K}{E}=75\%[/tex]

The required percentage is 75%

According to the given condition

[tex]\dfrac{E}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}kA^2=kx^2\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}A^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

So, the energy is half when displacement is [tex]\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

  • At 75% ,the energy is kinetic energy.
  • At [tex]\frac{A}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] a fraction of A, the energy half kinetic and half potential.

Let x be the displacement of spring which is given to be  [tex]\frac{1}{2} A=\frac{A}{2}[/tex]

k= spring constant

Total energy of the spring is:

[tex]E=\frac{1}{2} kA^2[/tex]

Elastic potential energy is given as:

[tex]U=\frac{1}{2} kx^2[/tex]

Now on substituting the value of x in above equation:

[tex]U=\frac{1}{2} k\frac{A^2}{4}[/tex]

It can also be written as:

[tex]U=\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{2} kA^2 \\\\U=\frac{1}{4} E[/tex]    (∵[tex]E=\frac{1}{2} kA^2[/tex])

Total energy can be written as:

E=U+K

⇒K=E-U

⇒K=E-1/4 E

⇒K=3/4 E

⇒[tex]\frac{K}{E} =0.75[/tex]

(i) Now, we need to calculate the percentage of kinetic energy:

[tex]\frac{K}{E} =0.75*100=75\%[/tex]

The percentage of kinetic energy is 75%.

(ii) In second it is asked at what displacement, as a fraction of A, is the energy half kinetic and half potential?

∴[tex]\frac{E}{2} =\frac{1}{2} kx^2[/tex]

On substituting the value of E in above equation we will get:

[tex]x=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2} A^2} \\\\x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

So, the energy is half when displacement is [tex]\frac{A}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex] .
