A 330 g air-track glider attached to a spring with spring constant 11 N/m is sitting at rest on a frictionless air track. A 330 g glider is pushed toward it from the far end of the track at a speed of 120 cm/s . It collides with and sticks to the 330g glider.
What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?
What is their period?
a)
By Conservation of momentum
M1V1+M2V2=(M1+M2)V
330*0+330*1.2=(330+330)V
V=0.6 m/s
angular frequency
W=sqrt(K/M)=sqrt(11/(0.33+0.33))
W=4.082 rad/s
since Vmax=AW
A=0.6/4.082
A=0.147 m or 14.7 cm
b)
Period
T=2pi/W =2pi/4.082
T=1.539 s=1.54 s(approx)
