Question

Please find the attached graph and answer the following questions on the page: Undergoing SHM Activity Seven Velocity and Acceleration of a Mass I. Set up the position graph with a time scale of 0 s to 10 s. With the mass completely at rest, zero the force probe. Graph with the mass completely at rest. Save the graph by going under "Experiment" and "Store Latest Run" (i.e., this is the equilibrium position for the system). Now push the mass up and start it oscillating up and down with an amplitude of 10 to 15 cm Start complete cycles of the position graph carefully on the following axes. Fill in the correct time and distance scales. hing with the mass oscillating. Change the time axis to display about three motion. Adjust the Position scale to better fill the axes. Draw the Draw your predictions of the velocity, acceleration and force graphs with dashed lines on the following axes. Do this before displaying these quantities. 2. Now display all 4 graphs and adjust the scales to display your graphs as clearly as possible. Draw these results (as solid lines) carefully on the graphs below. Save your results for the next activity (you may want to call it SHMA.xxx, with your initials). For this activity a. when the mass is at its maximum distance from the detector, is the velocity maximum, minimum or some other value according to your graphs? velorsat o b. Does this agree with your predictions? es c. Does this agree with your observations of the oscillating mass? Explain. d. when the mass has its maximum positive velocity, is its distance from the detector maximum, minimum, the equilibrium value or some other value according to your graphs? e. What about when it reaches maximum negative velocity? f. Does this agree with your predictions?

Explanation / Answer

(a). When the mass is at its maximum distance, the velocity is zero, according to the graph.

(b).Yes.

(c). Yes. This is because, when the mass reaches its maximum position, it cannot go further. It starts to come back. So, it has to stop going forward in order to come back. Therefore, it has a velocity zero at its maximum position.

(d). When the mass has maximum velocity, its distance is at the equilibrium value.

(e). When it reaches to maximum negative velocity, Its agian at the equilibrium value.

(f). Yes, because at equilibrium position it will have maximum velocity. negative or positive is just the representation of the direction.
