Answer:

a = 0.009 J

b = 0.19 m/s

c = 0.005 J and 0.004 J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the object, m = 0.5 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 20 N/m

Amplitude of the motion, A = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Displacement of the system, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

a

Total energy of the system, E =

E = 1/2 * k * A²

E = 1/2 * 20 * 0.03²

E = 10 * 0.0009

E = 0.009 J

b

E = 1/2 * k * A² = 1/2 * m * v(max)²

1/2 * m * v(max)² = 0.009

1/2 * 0.5 * v(max)² = 0.009

v(max)² = 0.009 * 2/0.5

v(max)² = 0.018 / 0.5

v(max)² = 0.036

v(max) = √0.036

v(max) = 0.19 m/s

c

V = ±√[(k/m) * (A² - x²)]

V = ±√[(20/0.5) * (0.03² - 0.02²)]

V = ±√(40 * 0.0005)

V = ±√0.02

V = ±0.141 m/s

Kinetic Energy, K = 1/2 * m * v²

K = 1/2 * 0.5 * 0.141²

K = 1/4 * 0.02

K = 0.005 J

Potential Energy, P = 1/2 * k * x²

P = 1/2 * 20 * 0.02²

P = 10 * 0.0004

P = 0.004 J

The total energy of the system is 0.009 J

The maximum speed of the object is 0.19 m/s

The kinetic and potential energies of the system when the displacement is 2.00 cm are 0.005 J and 0.004 J respectively

The object is under simple harmonic motion.

Given that the mass of the object m =0.5 kg , spring constant k = 20N/m

(a) The total energy of the system in SMH,

[tex]E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2[/tex]

If the amplitude of motion A = 3cm = 0.03m, then total energy

[tex]E=\frac{1}{2}*20*0.03*0.03 J\\\\E = 0.009J[/tex]

E = 0.009J is the total energy of the system.

(b) maximum speed of the object

the maximum kinetic energy of the object = total energy of the object

[tex]\frac{1}{2} m(v_{max})^{2} =E\\\\v_{max}=\sqrt{2E/m}\\\\v_{max}=\sqrt{2*0.009/0.5}\\\\v_{max}=0.19m/s[/tex]

0.19 m/s is the maximum speed

(c) KE and PE when x = 2cm = 0.02m

potential energy at x = 0.02

[tex]PE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\PE=\frac{1}{2}*20*0.02*0.02\\\\PE= 0.004J[/tex]

Now, Kinetic energy + potential energy = total energy

KE + PE = E

KE = E - PE

KE = 0.009J - ).004J

KE = 0.005J

The kinetic and potential energies are 0.005 J and 0.004 J respectively.
