1 )A particle attached to a spring with k = 48 N/m is undergoing simple harmonic motion, and its position is described by the equation x = (6.3 m)cos(7.9t), with t measured in seconds.
(a) What is the mass of the particle?
(b) What is the period of the motion?
(c) What is the maximum speed of the particle?
(d) What is the maximum potential energy?
(e) What is the total energy?
2) A mass of 3.7 kg is released down a frictionless slope from a height of h = 2.1 m. When it reaches the bottom of the slope, it undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a mass of 1.0 kg attached to a spring of spring constant k = 4.9 kN/m as illustrated in the figure below. The combined mass then undergoes periodic motion. Calculate the following.
(a) maximum velocity of two—mass system
(b) frequency
(c) maximum amplitude
(d) period
(e) Determine expressions for position as a function of time and velocity as a function of time for the combined mass of this oscillating system.
x(t)=
v(t)=
