A particle of mass m, is under the influence of a force F given by F = Fo [(sin ωt)ˆi + (cos ωt) ˆj] where F0, ω are positive constants. If at t = 0 the particle is at rest at the origin, find (a) the equations of motion x (t) and y (t) of the particle, and (b) the work done by the force F from t = 0 to t = 2π/ω.

9. Object #1 has mass m; object #2 has mass 10m. They are separated by the distance d. We can conclude that: Object 1 exerts greater gravitational force on object 2, than object 2 exerts on 1. Object 1 exerts smaller gravitational force on object 2, than object 2 exerts on 1. Object 1 exerts on object 2 gravitational force equal in magnitude to force eqerted by 2 on 1. Our answer depends on distance d. 10. Consider two objects:...

A boat of mass m is pushed away from the berth with the initial speed v0. Suppose that the drag force f is proportional to the velocity of the boat; the second Newton’s law implies ma = −kv where v is the velocity of the boat, a is acceleration, k > 0 is the drag coeffinient. (a) Find the velocity of the boat as a function of time t. Your solution may involve v0, m, k as parameters. (b) Find...

Two waves traveling in opposite directions on a stretched rope interfere to give the standing wave described by the following wave function: y(x,t) = 4 sin⁡(2πx) cos⁡(120πt), where, y is in centimetres, x is in meters, and t is in seconds. The rope is two meters long, L = 2 m, and is fixed at both ends. In terms of the oscillation period, T, at which of the following times would all elements on the string have a zero vertical...

Finding the Spring Constant We can describe an oscillating mass in terms of its position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time. We can also describe the system from an energy perspective. In this experiment, you will measure the position and velocity as a function of time for an oscillating mass and spring system, and from those data, plot the kinetic and potential energies of the system. Energy is present in three forms for the mass and spring system....
