Document Summary

The missing shade of blue states that if one is given various shades of blue and one is missing, the person can identify that there is a missing shade and form an image of that shade as well. The point of hume"s objection is that one does not need the relevant sensory experience to generate an idea. Hobbes believed that all phenomena in the universe, without exception, can be explained in terms of the motions and interactions of material bodies. He did not believe in the soul, or in the mind as separate from the body, or in any of the other incorporeal and metaphysical entities in which other writers have believed. Instead, he saw human beings as essentially machines, with even their thoughts and emotions operating according to physical laws and chains of cause and effect, action and reaction. As machines, human beings pursue their own self-interest relentlessly, mechanically avoiding pain and pursuing pleasure.

Good Vibes: Introduction to Oscillations

The conditions that lead to simple harmonic motion are as follows:

There must be a position of stable equilibrium.

There must be a restoring force acting on the oscillating object. The direction of this force must always point toward the equilibrium, and its magnitude must be directly proportional to the magnitude of the object's displacement from its equilibrium position. Mathematically, the restoring force F⃗ is given by ⃗, where is the displacement from equilibrium and k is a constant that depends on the properties of the oscillating system.

The resistive forces in the system must be reasonably small.

Consider a block of mass m attached to a spring with force constant k, as shown in the figure(Figure 1) . The spring can be either stretched or compressed. The block slides on a frictionless horizontal surface, as shown. When the spring is relaxed, the block is located at x=0. If the block is pulled to the right a distance A and then released, A will be the amplitude of the resulting oscillations.

Assume that the mechanical energy of the block-spring system remains unchanged in the subsequent motion of the block.

Part A

After the block is released from x=A, it will

(a) remain at rest

(b) move to the left until it reaches equilibrium and stop there.

(d) move to the left until it reaches x=−A and then begin to move to the right.

The time it takes the block to complete one cycle is called the period. Usually, the period is denoted T and is measured in seconds.

The frequency, denoted f, is the number of cycles that are completed per unit of time: f=1/T. In SI units, f is measured in inverse seconds, or hertz (Hz).

Part B

If the period is doubled, the frequency is

(a) unchanged

(b) doubled

Part C

An oscillating object takes 0.10 s to complete one cycle; that is, its period is 0.10 s. What is its frequency f?

Express your answer in hertz.

Part D

If the frequency is 40 Hz, what is the period T?

Express your answer in seconds.

The following questions refer to the figure (Figure 2) that graphically depicts the oscillations of the block on the spring.

Note that the vertical axis represents the x-coordinate of the oscillating object, and the horizontal axis represents time.

Part E

Which points on the x-axis are located at a distance A from the equilibrium position?

(a) R only

(b) Q only

Part F

Suppose that the period is T. Which of the following points on the t-axis are separated by the time interval T?

(a) K and L

(b) K and M

(d) L and N

(e) M and P

Now assume for the remaining Parts G - J, that the x coordinate of point R is 0.12 m and the t coordinate of point K is 0.0050 s.

Part G

What is the period T?

Express your answer in seconds.

Part H

How much time t does the block take to travel from the point of maximum displacement to the opposite point of maximum displacement?

Express your answer in seconds.

Part I

What distance d does the object cover during one period of oscillation?

Express your answer in meters.

Part J

What distance d does the object cover between the moments labeled K and N on the graph?

Express your answer in meters.

I am so lost onwere to even begin. I just need help trying to find the Ñ² (angle)for part part 1 of the experiment if anyone can just explain how todo that and maybe give me a step-by-step example so I can finishthe rest. Thank you! Experiment 6 ~ Friction

Purpose:

In this lab, you will make some basic measurements of friction.You will measure the coefficients of staticfriction between several combinations of surfaces using aninclined plane, and you will measure the coefficient ofkinetic friction between two of the combinationsof surfaces you used in the static friction part of thisexperiment.

Part 1: StaticFriction

Theory:

The coefficient of static frictionm_s can be measured experimentally foran object placed on an inclined plane (a.k.a. ramp, a.k.a. hill).The coefficient of static friction is related to the criticalangle q_c for the ramp, at whichthe object just begins to slide. Using what we havecovered in class, you can derive this relationshipyourself! At this critical angle, static friction preventing theobject from sliding down the hill is just exactly equal to thecomponent of the objectâs weight along the hill. If the componentof the weight along the hill were just a little greater, it wouldovercome friction, and the object would start to slide down. Thefree body diagram for this situation will look like the figuresketched below. Use this diagram to find an equation that relatesm_s toq_c.

F_N = NormalForce = mg cos(Î¸)

F_F =Î¼_s x F_N = Î¼_s mg cos(Î¸)

Î£F_x = mA_x = F_Gx - F_F = ?

F_Gx = mgsin(Î¸)

Hint #1: the angle q of the incline is the same as theangle between the normal force N and the weightmg. Why?

Hint #2: The weight mg can be broken into twocomponents. One component is along the incline(W_H). The other component is âpressinginto the hillâ, and is equal in magnitude to the normal forceN. (This is an example of a situation where the normalforce is not equal to the weight!) Remember that you need to usethe normal force to calculate friction, sincef=mN. Now calculate what the angle ofthe incline should be, so that the component of the weight down thehill is just exactly balanced by friction.

Equipment:

For this lab you will need to share the following ramps andblocks with other lab groups:

Ramps Blocks

Aluminum Aluminum

ParticleBoard Brass

StainlessSteel Plexiglass

Plastic Copper

Rubber

Steel

Wood

Experiment:

Test at least 5 different combinations of materials. Record thematerial of the block and the ramp for each combination.

1. Measure and record the length of theinclined plane you will be using. (This is thehypotenuse of the right triangle!)

2. Place the block on the plane and begin tiltingthe plane just until the point when the block begins to slide.

3. Measure the height of the raisedend of the inclined plane at this point. (This is theopposite side of the right triangle!) You cancalculate the angle from the measurements of the two sides.

4. Repeat the height measurement at least 3 timesfor each combination of materials. Record all the measurements inthe table below. Then,

(a) calculate the angle from the measurements of the hypotenuseand opposite side you just obtained

(b) use the equation you derived above in order to calculate thecoefficient of kinetic friction from the angle.

5. Remember that in class we said that friction does not dependon surface area. You can easily test whether or not this iscorrect. Choose a block/ramp combination not already tested, andmake sure the block is not a cube or cylinder. Place the block sothat the side with the larger surface area is in contact with theboard. Now measure the angle at which the block just begins toslide (by measuring the hypotenuse and opposite sides of thecorresponding right triangle). As before, calculate the coefficientof friction from the angle you measured, using your equation.Repeat this process with the side of the block with the smallersurface area in contact with the board. Enter this data in thesmall tables below.

Length of ramp:______(m) Length of ramp: ______(m)

Height(m)	s	Height(m)	s

avg m_s: ______ s : _______ avg m_s: ______ s : _______

Part 2: KineticFriction

Theory:

You can calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction,m_k, using a variation of the methodyou used for the coefficient of static friction. For thecoefficient of kinetic friction, you can use the same free bodydiagram as the one drawn on the first page. But now, thecombination of W_H and the force offriction will need to add up such that the block will slide at aconstant speed. Think of Newtonâs first and second laws when youset up this equation. Derive a relationship between the criticalangle and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Experiment:

You can measure m_k using aprocedure similar to the one you used to measurem_s. This time, just pick twocombinations of materials. The combinations you pick for this partof the experiment have to be combinations you alreadyused for the static friction part of the experiment, because thepoint is to compare m_sandm_k!

1. Measure and record the length ofthe inclined plane you will be using.

2. Raise the plane high enough for the blockto begin moving. Begin lowering the plane just until the pointwhen the block begins to slow down. (Alternatively, raise theboard while tapping the block until block moves at a constantrate.)

3. Measure the height of the raisedend of the inclined plane at this point.

4. Repeat the height measurement at least 3times for each combination of materials. Record all themeasurements in the table below. Then,

(a) calculate the angle from the measurements of the hypotenuseand opposite side you just obtained

(b) use the equation you derived above in order to calculate thecoefficient of kinetic friction from the angle.

Block (from part 1) :_________ Block (from part 1):__________

Ramp:_______________ Ramp: ________________

Length of ramp:______(m) Length of ramp: ______(m)

Height(m)	k	Height(m)	k

avg m_k: ______ s : _______ avg m_k: ______ s : _______

Analysis:

Questions:

1. How do the values of m_s compareto the values of m_k? (Of course, youcan only compare them for the same pairs of materials.)

2. Is the relationship betweenm_sand m_kwhat you expected?

3. Of the two parts of the experiment, measurement ofm_sand measurement ofm_k, which had more sources of error?What were some of the sources of error?

4. Could m_k orm_s ever be greater than 1? Explain whyor why not.

5. Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block wasstanding on its larger (or smaller) end?

6. Think about your results. Do they make sense when youconsider your everyday experiences?
