Question

An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the 10.0 cm mark and the 65.0 cm mark on the track. The glider completes 11.0 oscillations in 37.0 s. What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) amplitude, and (d) maximum speed of the glider?

An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the 10.0 cm mark and the 65.0 cm mark on the track. The glider completes 11.0 oscillations in 37.0 s. What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) amplitude, and (d) maximum speed of the glider?

Explanation / Answer

a) Period = 37/11 = 3.36 sec

b) Frequency = 1/period = 0.29 sec^-1

c) Amplitude = 65 -10 / 2 = 27.5 cm

d) Maximum speed = Aw = 27.5*2*pi*freq = 50 cm/sec
