IS tis corresct about Amplitud, frquency, Period, & Energy

In summary, the conversation discusses a vibrating mass and its equation, as well as finding the amplitude, frequency, period, total energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy at a specific point. The amplitude is 0.342, the frequency is 1.208 Hz, the period is 0.828 seconds, the total energy is 0.670 J, and the potential energy is 8.25x10^-2 J. The calculations appear to be correct.

A 424 g mass vibrates according to the equation x=0.342 sin(5.20t) where x is inn meters and t is in seconds. Find the amplitud, frquency, period, total energy, kinetic energy when x=12.0 cm, and potencial nergy when x-12.0 cm.

Amplitud=0.342

w=2*pi*frequency
frequency=(2*pi)/w=(2*pi)/(5.20)=1.208 Hz

Period= 1/frequncy=1/1.208= 0.828

E=1/2*k*x^2
in the amplitud it is
E=(1/2)*(k)(0.342)^2

but k= (w^2)*m=(5.20^2)*(0.424)=11.46

E=(1/2)*(11.46)*(0.342^2)= 0.670 J

Potenicial Energy= 1/2*k*x^2
=(1/2)*(11.46)*(0.12^2)=8.25 x 10^-2 J

Kinetic Energy= Total - Potencial= 0.670 J - 8.25x10^-2 J = 0.5875 J


Is all this problem correct or not?...

Everything looks right, assuming no calculation errors.

1. What is amplitude in terms of waves?

Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. It is a measure of the intensity or strength of a wave.

2. How is frequency defined?

Frequency is the number of complete cycles or oscillations of a wave per unit of time. It is usually measured in hertz (Hz).

3. What is the period of a wave?

The period of a wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle or oscillation to occur. It is the inverse of frequency, meaning that as frequency increases, the period decreases.

4. How is energy related to waves?

Energy is the ability to do work, and waves carry energy as they propagate through a medium. The amount of energy a wave carries is directly proportional to its amplitude and frequency.

5. Are amplitude, frequency, and energy independent of each other?

No, amplitude, frequency, and energy are all related to each other in the properties of a wave. A change in one of these properties will affect the others.
