Document Summary
Physics 7e - lecture 5 - oscillating motion. The kinetic energy can be found by. K = mv = m a sin ( t + . The elastic potential energy can be found by. U = kx = ka cos ( t + . The total energy is k + u = ka . The total mechanical energy is constant and is proportional to the square of the amplitude. Energy is continuously being transferred between potential energy stored in the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. The total mechanical energy e = k + u is conserved in shm: A 50. 0-g object connected to a spring with a force constant of 20. 0 n/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless surface with an amplitude of 2. 00 cm. Find (a) the total energy of the system and (b) the speed of the object when the position is 1. 00 cm.
