Show that they are given by s(t) = smax cos (smpt + ) v(t) = vmax sin (smpt + ) a(t) = amax cos(smpt + ) respectively, where smax = max with being the length of the pendulum, vmax = smax smp, and amax = smax smp2.arrow_forwardImagine you've constructed a pendulum at home and measured the length of the rope and the period. The goal here is to create a graph where the slope corresponds to the gravitational acceleration constant. For that you have to get an X and a Y. First, you have these 2 equations as a starting point: T= 2π/ω and ω= sqrt(g/L). Play with the equations to construct an equation for a linear graph with the form: Y=mX+b where the slope m=g.

- A body oscillates with simple harmonic mo- tion along the x-axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x(t) = A sin(ω t + φ) . If A = 7 m, ω = 3.272 rad/s, and φ = 1.0472 rad, what is the acceleration of the body at t = 2 s? Note: The argument of the sine function is in radians rather than degrees. Answer in units of m/s2.arrow_forwardThe simple pendulum is a mechanical device that illustrates several concepts about forces and motion. The simple pendulum uses a string or cord to suspend a mass at some length from a pivot point. The mass is called the bob and when displaced from rest, will move in simple harmonic motion. The movement of a pendulum is the acceleration by gravity on the suspended bob. Newton showed that the acceleration of all bodies by gravity is equal. In other words, the amount of mass does not affect the acceleration from gravity, all bodies fall at the same rate. To test this and also to find the acceleration from gravity, two different masses will be used and the pendulum’s period will be measured. If Newton’s theory is correct, the heavier mass suspended from the same length of string on the pendulum will have the same period. The last thing this experiment will show is that the relationship between the length of the pendulum and the pendulum’s period (the time for one cycle) can be described by…arrow_forwardAfter landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm .
