We want to support a thin hoop by a horizontal nail and have the hoop make one complete small-angle oscillation each 2.0s .

What must the hoop's radius be (in meters) ?


and


An object is undergoing SHM with period 0.260 s and amplitude 5.55 cm. At t=0 the object is instantaneously at rest at x= 5.55 cm.

Calculate the time it takes the object to go from x= 5.55 cm to x= -1.55 cm.



SOMEONE HELP ME

what's the moment of inertia of a hoop about its center?

what's the moment of inertia of a hoop about its rim? (use parallel axis theorem)

where is the center of gravity of the hoop?

what is the force due to gravity on the hoop?

what is the torque on the hoop?

what is the equation relating torque to angular acceleration?

what is the small angle approximation for the sine function?

your caps lock key is stuck, maybe?
 
For the second question, start with the general equation of motion of an shm. Do you know what that is?
 
in my questions that all they gave you i need like a answer lol and some work i can't figure these two out that's all
 
The equation describing shm is given by y=asin(wt+c), where y is the displacement, w is the angular frequency, t is time and c is the phase difference. Let's start with what you do know about shm. Any thoughts on how to go about this? Not mathematically, just conceptually.
 

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
