A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.00 cm. At what positions does its speed equal one fourth of its maximum speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The positions are  0.0194 m  and - 0.0194 m.

Explanation:

Given;

amplitude of the simple harmonic motion, A = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m

speed of simple harmonic motion is given as;

[tex]v = \omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}[/tex]

the maximum speed of the simple harmonic motion is given as;

[tex]v_{max} = \omega A[/tex]

when the speed equal one fourth of its maximum speed

[tex]v =\frac{v_{max}}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2} = \frac{\omega A}{4} \\\\\sqrt{A^2-x^2}= \frac{A}{4}\\\\A^2-x^2 = \frac{A^2}{16} \\\\x^2 = A^2 - \frac{A^2}{16} \\\\x^2 = \frac{16A^2 - A^2}{16} \\\\x^2 = \frac{15A^2}{16} \\\\x= \sqrt{\frac{15A^2}{16} } \\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{15(0.02)^2}{16} }\\\\x = 0.0194 \ m \ \ or\ - 0.0194 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the positions are  0.0194 m and - 0.0194 m.

The positions where the speed equals 1/4 of its maximum speed is mathematically given as

[tex]x \pm 0.0194[/tex]

What positions does its speed equal one-fourth of its maximum speed?

Question Parameters:

an amplitude of 2.00 cm.

Generally, the equation for the speed of simple harmonic motion  is mathematically given as

[tex]v = w \sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\\v=\frac{wA}{4}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]w \sqrt{A^2-x^2}=\frac{wA}{4}\\\\x^2=A^2-A^2/16\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{15A^2}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]x \pm 0.0194[/tex]

In conclusion, the positions are

[tex]x \pm 0.0194[/tex]
