Find the period of a particle with only max vel. and amplitude

AI Thread Summary
To find the period of a particle in simple harmonic motion (SHM) with a maximum velocity of 0.5 m/s and an amplitude of 10 cm, the relevant equations include max velocity (v_max = ωA) and the period (T = 2π/ω). The relationship between maximum velocity and angular frequency (ω) allows for the calculation of ω as ω = v_max / A. Substituting the values gives ω = 0.5 m/s / 0.1 m = 5 rad/s. Finally, using T = 2π/ω results in a period of 1.26 seconds.

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.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
