Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the period of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) given its amplitude and maximum velocity.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore relevant equations related to SHM, with one participant expressing difficulty in identifying useful formulas. Another participant provides key relationships involving maximum velocity and amplitude, suggesting these may lead to a solution.

Discussion Status

Some guidance has been offered regarding the relationships between maximum velocity, amplitude, and angular frequency. Participants are engaging with these concepts, and there is an indication that one participant feels closer to resolving the problem.

Contextual Notes

One participant notes a lack of familiarity with the basic equations of SHM, which may affect their ability to progress in solving the problem.

A particle moves with SHM of amplitude 10 cm and a maximum speed of 0.5 m/s. ...find the objects period
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you know any equations relating to SHM that might help?
 
no , been trying for the last hour to find one that could help
 
The basic equations should be available to you if you are studying SHM !
Do you know that max acceleration is given by ω^2 A (A is amplitude) and that
Max velocity is given by ωA
and that T = 2π/ω

Hope this will help you
 
Max vel = ωA , didnt know that . think that solves it ... thanks very much technician
 
thats it... you should be able to get an answer.
