Answer to Question #299222 in Physics for ezekiel

Question

a 10kg mass is suspended from the end of a spring and released. If the spring oscillates in shm with a period of 0.5s Cal the energy given to the 10kg Mass if the amplitude of oxidation is 2cm?

Answer 1

Given:

$m=10\:\rm kg$

$T=0.5\:\rm s$

$A=0.02\:\rm m$

The energy of a SHM

$E=\frac{m\omega^2A^2}{2}=\frac{4m\pi^2A^2}{2T^2}$

$E=\frac{4*10*\pi^2*0.02^2}{2*0.5^2}=0.32\:\rm J$
