Question

A 1.350 kg air-track glider is attached to each end of the track by two coil springs. It takes a horizontal force of 0.700 N to displace the glider to a new equilibrium position, x = 0.290 m. A) Find the effective spring constant of the system - 2.41 N/m (I already found this). B) The glider is now released from rest at x = 0.290 m. Find the maximum x-acceleration of the glider. C) Find the x-coordinate of the glider at time t = 0.350T, where T is the period of the oscillation. D) Find the kinetic energy of the glider at x = 0.00 m.

Step 1

We can rearrange this equation to find the acceleration: a = F/m = -kx/m We know the spring constant k = 2.41 N/m, the mass m = 1.350 kg, and the displacement x = 0.290 m. Plugging in these values, we get: a_max = -(2.41 N/m)(0.290 m)/(1.350 kg) = -0.520 Show more…
