Question

Consider a particle moving in uniform circular motion in the xy plane at a distance r = 1.6 m from the origin. Refer to the figure. In this problem, you will show that the projection of the particle’s motion onto the x-axis can be used to represent simple harmonic motion.

a)For an angular speed of ω = 8.9 rad/s, find the value of x, in meters, at time t = 0.89 s.

b)For an angular speed of ω = 8.9 rad/s, find the value of v_x, in meters per second, at time t = 0.89 s.

c)For an angular speed of ω = 8.9 rad/s, find the value of a_x, in meters per second squared, at time t = 0.89 s.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
