Homework Statement
a 185g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscilates at 5.2Hz. At t=0s, the amss is at x=5.80 and has a vx=-40.0cm. determine the amplitude
The amplitude of an oscillating spring is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position during one complete cycle of oscillation. It is measured in meters (m) or centimeters (cm).
The amplitude of an oscillating spring is directly proportional to its energy. This means that as the amplitude increases, so does the energy of the spring.
The amplitude of an oscillating spring is affected by two main factors: the mass attached to the spring and the force constant of the spring. A heavier mass or a larger force constant will result in a larger amplitude.
The amplitude of an oscillating spring can be measured by recording the maximum displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position during one complete cycle of oscillation. This can be done using a ruler or other measuring device.
The equation for calculating the amplitude of an oscillating spring is A = F/k, where A is the amplitude, F is the force applied to the spring, and k is the spring constant. This equation assumes that the mass attached to the spring is constant.
