The original “clock” used to define the length of the second was the daily rotation of Earth about its axis. Why has this clock been replaced by one based on the oscillation period of light waves emitted by atoms like cesium and rubidium?
You are looking at a small, leafy tree. You do not notice any breeze, and most of the leaves on the tree are motionless. One leaf however, is fluttering hack and forth wildly. After a while, that leaf stops moving and you notice a different leaf moving much more than all the others. Explain what could cause the large motion of one particular leaf.
What are you feeling when you feel your pulse? Measure your pulse rate for 10 s and for 1 min. Is there a factor of 6 difference?
Suppose you have a 0.750kg object on a horizontal surface connected to a spring that has a force constant of 150N/m. There is simple friction between me object and surface with a static coefficient of friction =0.100. (a) How far can the spring be stretched without moving the mass? (b) If the object is set into oscillation with an amplitude twice the distance found in part (a), and me kinetic coefficient of friction is k=0.0850, what total distance does it travel before stopping? Assume it starts at me maximum amplitude.
One type of BB gun uses a spring-driven plunger to blow the BB from its barrel. (a) Calculate the force constant of its plunger’s spring if you must compress it 0.150 m to drive the 0.0500kg plunger to a top speed of 20.0m/s. (b) What force must be exerted to compress the spring?
The ball in Figure 15.13 moves in a circle of radius 0.50 m. At t = 0, the ball is located on the left side of the turntable, exactly opposite its position in Figure 15.13. What are the correct values for the amplitude and phase constant (relative to an x axis to the right) of the simple harmonic motion of the shadow? (a) 0.50 m and 0 (b) 1.00 m and 0 (c) 0.50 m and (d) 1.00 m and Figure 15.13 An experimental setup for demonstrating the connection between a particle in simple harmonic motion and a corresponding particle in uniform circular motion.
Figure 15.4 shows two curves representing particles undergoing simple harmonic motion. The correct description of these two motions is that the simple harmonic motion of particle B is (a) of larger angular frequency and larger amplitude than that of particle A, (b) of larger angular frequency and smaller amplitude than that of particle A, (c) of smaller angular frequency and larger amplitude than that of particle A, or (d) of smaller angular frequency and smaller amplitude than that of particle A.
Pendulum clocks are made to run at the correct rate by adjusting the pendulum's length. Suppose you move from one city to another where the acceleration due to gravity is slightly greater, taking your pendulum clock with you, will you have to lengthen or shorten the pendulum to keep the correct time, other factors remaining constant? Explain your answer.
Explain in terms of energy how dissipative forces such as friction reduce the amplitude of a harmonic oscillator. Also explain how a driving mechanism can compensate. (A pendulum clock is such a system.)
The motion of a mass on a spring hung vertically, where the mass oscillates up and down, can also be modeled using the rotating disk. Instead of the lights being placed horizontally along the top and pointing down, place the lights vertically and have the lights shine on the side of the rotating disk. A shadow will be produced on a nearby wall, and will move up and down. Write the equations of motion for the shadow taking the position at t=0.0 s to be t=0.0 m with the mass moving in the positive y-direction.
