An object of mass m is attached to a horizontal spring, stretched to a displacement A from equilibrium and released, undergoing harmonic oscillations on a frictionless surface with period T0. The experiment is then repeated with a mass of 4m. What's the new period of oscillation?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]2T_0[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

object of mass is m is undergoing harmonic oscillations with time Period [tex]T_0[/tex]

Time Period of spring mass system

[tex]T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]

where k=spring constant

thus [tex]T_0=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]

when mass is [tex]4m_0[/tex]

[tex]T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4m}{k}}[/tex]

[tex]T'=2\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]T'=2T_0[/tex]

The new period of oscillation will be "2T₀".

Harmonic oscillations

A physical mechanism throughout which a measurement oscillates behind and in front of a mean value is placed at a single or maybe more distinctive harmonics or intervals.

According to the question,

The time period of spring mass system will be:

→ T = 2π[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]

here,

Spring constant = k

and,

→ T₀ = 2π[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]

By substituting "4m₀" in place of mass, we get

→ T' = 2π[tex]\frac{4m}{k}[/tex]

      = 2 × 2π[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]

      = 2T₀

Thus the response above is correct.
