Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A mass-spring system oscillates with an amplitude of 0.1 m. What is the maximum speed of the mass if the angular frequency is 20 rad/s?
  • Step 1: Identify the amplitude (A) of the oscillation, which is given as 0.1 m.
  • Step 2: Identify the angular frequency (ω) of the oscillation, which is given as 20 rad/s.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for maximum speed (v_max), which is v_max = A * ω.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: v_max = 0.1 m * 20 rad/s.
  • Step 5: Calculate the maximum speed: v_max = 2 m/s.
  • Simple Harmonic Motion – The behavior of oscillating systems, where the maximum speed can be calculated using amplitude and angular frequency.
  • Maximum Speed in Oscillations – The formula v_max = Aω relates the maximum speed of an oscillating mass to its amplitude and angular frequency.
