A 325 g object attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.220 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring-mass system is 5.46 J. A. What is the maximum speed of the object (in m/s)?B) Find the force constant of the spring. C) Find the amplitude of the motion.

Explanation:

Total mechanical energy = 1/2 m ω²A² where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

Given

1/2 m ω²A² = 5.46

ω²A² = 2 x 5.6 / m

= 2 x 5.6 / .325

= 34.46

ωA = 5.87

maximum speed = ωA = 5.87 m /s

B )

angular frequency = 2π / T , T is period of oscillation .

= 2 x 3.14 / .22

= 28.54 s⁻¹

ω =

k is force constant and m is mass

k = 264.72 N/m

C)

ωA = 5.87

28.54 X A = 5.87

A = .2056 m

= 20.56 cm .

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.

firearm identification is the process of analyzing the bullets and cartridge cases left at a crime scene to determine if they came from a particular firearm. marks on the bullets and cartridges may be common to every firearm of that type. these are called class characteristics.
