There is a 2.69 kg box at three points in time. The box starts with 450 Joules of mechanical energy. At time 1 the object is at rest in the air. At time 2 the box is moving along the ground to the left. At time 3 the box is compressed against a spring with a spring constant of 1098 N/m at. Assume that mechanical energy is conserved for this problem. A.What is the height of the box in time 1? __________meters B.What is the box's velocity at time 2? ___________ m/s C. How far is the box compressed against the spring at time 3? _____________meters
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
