Question


hanging mass = m=0.2kg

making a prediction about the energy of hanging mass using y(t)cos(sqrt(k/m)t)+C a.determine the kinetic energy k as a function of the time for the hanging mass.(some calculation).

b. determine the spring position. Let Us =0 at the springs equilibrium position (y=0).


c. graph the total potential energy of the mass spring system d.using the answers to part a, b, and c the relationship y(t)cos(sqrt(k/m)t)+C, determine the total mechanical energy E of the system as a function of time.

e.which of the following will increase the total mechanical energy of the system?

a. a larger amplitude of the mass bounce


b. a higher frequency of the mass oscillation


c. a heavier mass

Explanation / Answer

b. a higher frequency of the mass oscillation
