Randall D. Knight β Oscillations: Problem 44
A 500 g mass on a horizontal spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s and an amplitude of 75 cm. During one oscillation, at the instant the spring is at maximum extension, the mass explodes into two pieces. One piece is shot forward, away from the spring, at 2.0 m/s. The second piece, which remains attached to the spring, recoils at 3.0 m/s. After the explosion, what are the (a) period and (b) amplitude of the oscillation?
π Solution Approach
Given: 500 g, 75 cm, 2.0 m, 3.0 m
