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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
