21. Physics 207: Lecture 19, Pg 21 Energy of the Spring-Mass System We know enough to discuss the mechanical energy of the oscillating mass on a spring. x(t) = A cos (  t +  ) If x(t) is displacement from equilibrium, then potential energy is U(t) = ½ k x(t) 2 = ½ k A 2 cos 2 (  t +  ) v(t) = dx/dt  v(t) = A  -sin (  t +  )) And so the kinetic energy is just ½ m v(t) 2 K(t) = ½ m v(t) 2 = ½ m ( A  ) 2 sin 2 (  t +  ) Finally, a(t) = dv/dt = -  2 A cos(  t +  )

22.

27. Physics 207: Lecture 19, Pg 27 The shaker cart l You stand inside a small cart attached to a heavy-duty spring, the spring is compressed and released, and you shake back and forth, attempting to maintain your balance. Note that there is also a sandbag in the cart with you. l At the instant you pass through the equilibrium position of the spring, you drop the sandbag out of the cart onto the ground. l What effect does jettisoning the sandbag at the equilibrium position have on the amplitude of your oscillation? It increases the amplitude. It decreases the amplitude. It has no effect on the amplitude. Hint: At equilibrium, both the cart and the bag are moving at their maximum speed. By dropping the bag at this point, energy (specifically the kinetic energy of the bag) is lost from the spring-cart system. Thus, both the elastic potential energy at maximum displacement and the kinetic energy at equilibrium must decrease

28. Physics 207: Lecture 19, Pg 28 The shaker cart l Instead of dropping the sandbag as you pass through equilibrium, you decide to drop the sandbag when the cart is at its maximum distance from equilibrium. l What effect does jettisoning the sandbag at the cart’s maximum distance from equilibrium have on the amplitude of your oscillation? It increases the amplitude. It decreases the amplitude. It has no effect on the amplitude. l Hint: Dropping the bag at maximum distance from equilibrium, both the cart and the bag are at rest. By dropping the bag at this point, no energy is lost from the spring-cart system. Therefore, both the elastic potential energy at maximum displacement and the kinetic energy at equilibrium must remain constant.
