AI Thread Summary
The discussion confirms the calculations related to a 424 g mass vibrating according to the equation x=0.342 sin(5.20t). The amplitude is correctly identified as 0.342 meters, with a frequency of 1.208 Hz and a period of 0.828 seconds. The total energy calculated is 0.670 J, with potential energy at x=12.0 cm being 0.0825 J and kinetic energy calculated as 0.5875 J. All calculations appear to be accurate, assuming no errors in the math. The problem is deemed correct overall.

A 424 g mass vibrates according to the equation x=0.342 sin(5.20t) where x is inn meters and t is in seconds. Find the amplitud, frquency, period, total energy, kinetic energy when x=12.0 cm, and potencial nergy when x-12.0 cm.

Amplitud=0.342

w=2*pi*frequency
frequency=(2*pi)/w=(2*pi)/(5.20)=1.208 Hz

Period= 1/frequncy=1/1.208= 0.828

E=1/2*k*x^2
in the amplitud it is
E=(1/2)*(k)(0.342)^2

but k= (w^2)*m=(5.20^2)*(0.424)=11.46

E=(1/2)*(11.46)*(0.342^2)= 0.670 J

Potenicial Energy= 1/2*k*x^2
=(1/2)*(11.46)*(0.12^2)=8.25 x 10^-2 J

Kinetic Energy= Total - Potencial= 0.670 J - 8.25x10^-2 J = 0.5875 J


Is all this problem correct or not?...

Everything looks right, assuming no calculation errors.
 
ok thanks...
 
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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
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...
