An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the 10 cm mark and the 60 cm mark on the track. The glider completes 10 oscillations in 33 s. What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) angular frequency, (d) amplitude, and (e) maximum speed of the glider?
Solutions
Verified(a) When the object is oscillating about the origin, repeatedly going left and right by identical amounts it has a time period where the period is the time required for one complete oscillation or cycle. So, the given time s is the time required to complete 10 cycles. In this case, the time period will be given by
Now, we plug the values for and into equation (1) to get
The air-track glider oscillating on a spring is SHM.
(a)The time needed for one oscillation:
s/oscillation
