Question
Five different experiments are carried out. In each experiment, a block is attached to a horizontal spring. The block is pulled back a certain distance and released. The block oscillates back and forth on a frictionless surface. Rank the amplitude of oscillation for each of the following situations. (Rank the smallest amplitude as 1).
A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.
A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant (1/2)k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
A block of mass (1/2)M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant 2k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.
Explanation / Answer
See.i hope the question is right and u are concerned about the amplitudes.
When a body is pushed back a certain distance it exhibits SHM with the same distance as amplitude,Depending on the spring constant and mass the energy of the system changes but amplitude remains same
So
2,3,4 cases get a rank of 1
rest get rank of 2
