### Responses to Questions

1. The acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator is momentarily zero as the mass passes through the equilibrium point. At this point, there is no force on the mass and therefore no acceleration.

2. Since the real spring has mass, the mass that is moving is greater than the mass at the end of the spring. Since 1 ,

2 k f

m π

= a larger mass means a smaller frequency. Thus the true frequency will be smaller than the massless spring approximation. And since the true frequency is smaller, the true period will be larger than the massless spring approximation. About one-third of the mass of the spring contributes to the total mass value.

3. The maximum speed is given by υmax =A k m/ . Various combinations of changing A, k, and/or m can result in a doubling of the maximum speed. For example, if k and m are kept constant, then doubling the amplitude will double the maximum speed. Or if A and k are kept constant, then reducing the mass to one-fourth of its original value will double the maximum speed. Note that changing either k or m will also change the frequency of the oscillator, since 1 .

2 k f

m π

= So doubling the frequency (no matter how it is done) will also double the maximum speed.

4. The period of a pendulum clock is inversely proportional to the square root of g, by Eq. 11–11a, 2 / .

T = π g When taken to high altitude, g will decrease (by a small amount), which means that the period will increase. If the period is too long, then the clock is running slow, so will lose time. 5. The tire swing is a good approximation of a simple pendulum. Pull the tire back a short distance and

release it so that it oscillates as a pendulum in simple harmonic motion with a small amplitude. Measure the period of the oscillations and calculate the length of the pendulum from the expression

6. The displacement and velocity vectors are in the same direction while the oscillator is moving away from its equilibrium position. The displacement and acceleration vectors are never in the same direction.

7. The two masses reach the equilibrium point simultaneously. The period of oscillation is independent of amplitude and will be the same for both systems.

8. When walking at a normal pace, the period of a walking step is about 1 second. The faster you walk, the shorter the period. The shorter your legs, the shorter the period. If you approximate your leg as a pendulum of length 1 m, then the period would be T =2π /g=2 seconds.

9. When you rise to a standing position, you raise your center of mass and effectively shorten the length of the swing. The period of the swing will decrease, and the frequency will increase.

10. To make the water slosh, you must shake the water (and the pan) at the natural frequency for water waves in the pan. The water then is in resonance, or in a standing wave pattern, and the amplitude of oscillation gets large. That natural frequency is determined in part by the size of the pan—smaller pans will slosh at higher frequencies, corresponding to shorter wavelengths for the standing waves. The period of the shaking must be the same as the time it takes a water wave to make a “round trip” in the pan.

11. The frequency of a simple periodic wave is equal to the frequency of its source. The wave is created by the source moving the wave medium that is in contact with the source. If you have one end of a taut string in your hand, and you move your hand with a frequency of 2 Hz, then the end of the string in your hand will be moving at 2 Hz, because it is in contact with your hand. Then those parts of the medium that you are moving exert forces on adjacent parts of the medium and cause them to oscillate. Since those two portions of the medium stay in contact with each other, they also must be moving with the same frequency. That can be repeated all along the medium, so the entire wave throughout the medium has the same frequency as the source.

12. The speed of the transverse wave is the speed at which the wave disturbance moves along the cord. For a uniform cord, that speed is constant and depends on the tension in the cord and the mass density of the cord. The speed of a tiny piece of the cord is how fast the piece of cord moves perpendicularly to the cord as the disturbance passes by. That speed is not constant—if a sinusoidal wave is traveling on the cord, the speed of each piece of the cord will be given by the speed relationship of a simple harmonic oscillator (Eq. 11–9), which depends on the amplitude of the wave, the frequency of the wave, and the specific time of observation.

13. (a) Striking the rod vertically from above will displace particles in a direction perpendicular to the rod and will set up primarily transverse waves.

(b) Striking the rod horizontally parallel to its length will give the particles an initial displacement parallel to the rod and will set up primarily longitudinal waves.

14. From Eq. 11–14b, the speed of waves in a gas is given by υ= B/ .ρ A decrease in the density due to a temperature increase therefore leads to a higher speed of sound. We expect the speed of sound to increase as temperature increases.

(3)

pulse. The point of connection is a node—a point of no motion. For a free end, the incoming pulse “whips” the end of the rope in a direction transverse to the wave motion, stretching it upward. As that whipped end is pulled back toward the equilibrium position, this whipping motion generates a wave much in the same way that the pulse was originally created and thus creates a wave that is not reflected.

16. Although both longitudinal and transverse waves can travel through solids, only longitudinal waves can travel through liquids. Since longitudinal waves, but no transverse waves, are detected on the Earth diametrically opposite the location of an earthquake, there must be some liquid as part of the Earth’s interior.

17. The speed of a longitudinal wave is given in general by υ = elastic force factor/inertia factor. Even though the density of solids is 1000 to 10,000 times greater than that of air, the elastic force factor (bulk modulus) of most solids is at least 10 times as great as the bulk modulus of air. This difference 6 overcomes the larger density of most solids and accounts for the speed of sound in most solids being greater than in air.

18. (a) Similar to the discussion in Section 11–9 for spherical waves, as a circular wave expands, the circumference of the wave increases. For the energy in the wave to be conserved, as the circumference increases, the intensity has to decrease. The intensity of the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude.

(b) The water waves will decrease in amplitude due to dissipation of energy from viscosity in the water (dissipative or frictional energy loss).

19. Assuming the two waves are in the same medium, then they will both have the same speed. Since ,

f

υ= λ the wave with the smaller wavelength will have twice the frequency of the other wave. From Eq. 11–18, the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the frequency of the wave. Thus, the wave with the shorter wavelength will transmit four times as much energy as the other wave.

20. The frequency must stay the same because the media is continuous—the end of one section of cord is physically tied to the other section of cord. If the end of the first section of cord is vibrating up and down with a given frequency, then since it is attached to the other section of cord, the other section must vibrate at the same frequency. If the two pieces of cord did not move at the same frequency, then they would not stay connected, and the waves would not pass from one section to another.

21. Assuming that there are no dissipative processes, then yes, the energy is conserved. The particles in the medium, which are set into motion by the wave, have both kinetic and potential energy. At the instant in which two waves interfere destructively, the displacement of the medium may be zero, but the particles of the medium will have velocity and therefore kinetic energy.

22. Yes. If you touch the string at any node you will not disturb the motion. There will be nodes at each end as well as at the points one-third and two-thirds of the distance along the length of the string. 23. From Eq. 11–13, the speed of waves on the string is υ= FT/ .μ Equation 11–9b can be used to find

the fundamental frequency of oscillation for a string with both ends fixed, 1 . 2

f = υ Combining these

two relationships gives 1 1 . 2

24. The energy of a wave is not localized at one point, because the wave is not localized at one point, so referring to the energy “at a node” being zero is not a meaningful statement. Due to the interference of the waves, the total energy of the medium particles at the nodes is zero, but the energy of the medium is not zero at points of the medium that are not nodes. In fact, the antinodes have more energy than they would have if only one of the two waves were present.

25. Yes. A standing wave is an example of a resonance phenomenon, caused by constructive interference between a traveling wave and its reflection. The wave energy is distributed around the antinodes, which exhibit large-amplitude oscillations, even when the generating oscillations from the hand are small. 26. This description of waves works well initially for both descriptions, but the waves continue after the

initial motion. When the center is struck, a wave does move from the center to the rim, but then it reflects from the rim back to the center. Likewise, when the rim is struck, a wave does move from the rim to the center, but the wave does not “stop” at the center. Once reaching the center, it then spreads out again to the rim. The amplitude of the waves also changes as the waves travel. As the radius increases, the amplitude decreases, and as the radius decreases, the amplitude increases.

27. AM radio waves have a much longer wavelength than FM radio waves. How much waves bend, or diffract, around obstacles depends on the wavelength of the wave compared with the size of the obstacle. A hill is much larger than the wavelength of FM waves, so there will be a “shadow” region behind the hill. However, the hill is not large compared with the wavelength of AM signals, so the AM radio waves will bend around the hill.

### Responses to MisConceptual Questions

1. (e) At x= ±A, the velocity is zero, but at these points the acceleration is a maximum. At x=0, the acceleration is zero, but the velocity is a maximum. For all other points, both the velocity and acceleration are nonzero. Thus there are no points where the acceleration and velocity are simultaneously zero.

2. (a, c, d) At the turning points in the oscillation (x= ± A), the velocity is zero and the acceleration is a maximum, so (a) is true. At the center of the oscillation (x= 0), the acceleration is zero and the velocity is a maximum, so (c) is true. Since the velocity is only zero at the turning points where the acceleration is a maximum, there is no point where both the velocity and acceleration are zero, so (b) is not true. At all other points besides x= ±A and x=0, both the acceleration and velocity are nonzero values, so (d) is also true.

3. (c) Students may believe that the period is proportional to the mass and therefore think that doubling the mass will double the period. However, the period is proportional to the square root of the mass, as seen in Eq. 11–6a. Therefore, the mass must be quadrupled (to 4M) for the period to double.

4. (b) A common misconception is that the amplitude of oscillation affects the frequency. Eq. 11–6b shows that the frequency can be increased by increasing k or decreasing m. The frequency does not depend upon the amplitude.

5. (a) The small angle approximation is valid only in units of radians because the angle in radians is equal to the ratio of the arc length to the radius. At small angles the arc length can be

(5)

to the radius of the circle. This ratio is equal to the sine of the angle, so for small angles the angle in radians is equal to the sine of the angle.

6. (e) A common misconception is that the starting angle, or amplitude of oscillation, affects the period of a pendulum. Eq. 11–11a shows that the period of a small-amplitude pendulum is determined by the length of the string and the acceleration of gravity, not the amplitude. Both oscillations will then have the same period.

7. (c) Students may erroneously believe that the mass of the child will affect the period of oscillation. However, Eq. 11–11a shows that the period is determined by the length of the swing cords and the acceleration of gravity. It does not depend upon the weight of the child. Since the swings are identical, they should oscillate with the same period.

8. (a) To speed up the pendulum, the period of the oscillation must be decreased. Equation 11–11a shows that the period is proportional to the square root of the length, so shortening the string will decrease the period. The period does not depend upon the mass of the bob, so changing the mass will not affect the period.

9. (e) Students frequently have trouble distinguishing between the motion of a point on a cord and the motion of a wave on the cord. As a wave travels down the cord, a point on the cord will move vertically between the lowest point of the wave and the highest point on the wave. The wave and the point have the same amplitude. The point on the cord completes one up and down oscillation as each wavelength passes that point. Therefore, the motion of the point on the cord has the same frequency as the wave. The speed of the wave on the string is determined by the wavelength and frequency. It is constant in time. The point on the cord moves perpendicular to the wave with a speed that varies with time. The maximum speed of the point is proportional to the wave amplitude and the wave frequency. Changing the amplitude will change the maximum speed of the point on the cord, but it does not change the wave speed. The wave speed and string speed therefore are not equal.

10. (a) A common misconception is that the waves are objects that can collide. Waves obey the superposition principle such that at any point on the rope the total displacement is the sum of the displacements from each wave. The waves pass through each other unaffected.

11. (d) Equation 11–13 shows that the wave speed on a cord is related to the tension in the cord and the mass per unit length of the cord. The wave speed does not depend upon the amplitude,

frequency, or wavelength. Stretching the cord increases the tension and decreases the mass per unit length, both of which increase the speed of the wave on the cord.

12. (d) The point on the string does not move horizontally, so answers (a) and (b) cannot be correct. The string has zero velocity only at the turning points (top and bottom), so (e) cannot be correct. Examining the graph shows that as the wave moves to the right the crest is approaching point B, so the string at B is traveling upward at this instant.

13. (d) Students frequently confuse the medium (an object) with the wave motion and answer that the waves will collide and bounce off of each other. The waves obey the superposition principle such that at any point in the lake the amplitude of the wave is the sum of the individual amplitudes of each wave. This produces the various patterns when they overlap. The waves, however, will pass through each other and continue in their same pattern after they pass. 14. (c) The speed of the wave along the Slinky depends upon the mass of the Slinky and the tension

(6)

speed can also be written as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Therefore, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength must decrease.

15. (a) A common misconception is that a wave transports matter as well as energy. However, as shown by a transverse wave on a horizontal string, the wave transports the disturbance down the string, but each part of the string stays at its initial horizontal position.

22. We assume that the collision of the bullet and block is so quick that there is no significant motion of the large mass or spring during the collision. Linear momentum is conserved in this collision. The speed that the combination has right after the collision is the maximum speed of the oscillating system. Then the kinetic energy that the combination has right after the collision is stored in the spring when it is fully compressed, at the amplitude of its motion.

(b) If the pendulum is in free fall, there is no tension in the string supporting the pendulum bob and no restoring force to cause oscillations. Thus there will be no period—the pendulum will not oscillate, so no period can be defined.

31. There are (24 h)(60 min/h)(60 s/min) 86, 400 s= in a day. The clock should make one cycle in exactly two seconds (a “tick” and a “tock”), so the clock should make 43,200 cycles per day. After one day, the clock in question is 21 seconds slow, which means that it has made 10.5 fewer cycles than are required for precise timekeeping. Thus the clock is only making 43,189.5 cycles in a day. Accordingly, the period of the clock must be decreased by a factor of 43,189 5.

It takes 16T for the position to change from + °10 to + °5 . It takes 14T for the position to change from 10

x = =A θ where θ must be measured in radians. The equation for the pendulum’s angular displacement is then found from the equation for the arc length.

If both sides of the equation are multiplied by 180 / rad,°π then the angles can be measured in degrees. Thus the angular displacement of the pendulum can be written as below. Note that the argument of the cosine function is still in radians.

65. For the penny to stay on the block at all times means that there will be a normal force on the penny from the block, exerted upward. If down is taken to be the positive direction, then the net force on the penny is Fnet=mg F− N =ma. Solving for the magnitude of the normal force gives FN =mg ma− . This expression is always positive if the acceleration is upward (a<0), so there is no possibility of the penny losing contact while accelerating upward. But if a downward acceleration were to be larger than g, then the normal force would go to zero, since the normal force cannot switch directions (FN >0). Thus the limiting condition is adown =g. This is the maximum value for the acceleration. For SHM, we also know that amax =ω2A=M mk AMk A.

70. Assume the block has a cross-sectional area of A. In the equilibrium position, the net force on the block is zero, so Fbuoy =mg. When the block is pushed into the water (downward) an additional distance ,Δx there is an increase in the buoyancy force (Fextra) equal to the weight of the additional water displaced. The weight of the extra water displaced is the density of water times the volume displaced.

extra extra water extra water water

( )

F =m gV ggA xΔ = ρ gA xΔ

This is the net force on the displaced block. Note that if the block is pushed down, the additional force is upward. And if the block were to be displaced upward by a distance Δx, the buoyancy force would actually be less than the weight of the block by the amount Fextra, so there would be a net force downward of magnitude Fextra. In both upward and downward displacement, there is a net force of magnitude (ρwatergA x)Δ but opposite to the direction of displacement. So we can write

net ( water ) ,

F = − ρ gA xΔ indicating that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the displacement. This is the equation of simple harmonic motion, with a “spring constant” of

the force put on the raft by the man. This is analogous to pulling down on a mass–spring system that is in equilibrium by applying an extra force. Then when the man steps off, the restoring force pushes upward on the raft, and thus the raft–water system acts like a spring, with a spring constant found as follows:

72. The pebble losing contact with the board means that there is no normal force of the board on the pebble. If there is no normal force on the pebble, then the only force on the pebble is the force of gravity, and the acceleration of the pebble will be g downward, the acceleration due to gravity. This is the maximum downward acceleration that the pebble can have. Thus, if the board’s downward

acceleration exceeds g, then the pebble will lose contact. The maximum acceleration and the amplitude are related by amax kA 2A 4 2 2f A.

An object sitting on the ground will then be moving with SHM, due to the two forces on it—the normal force upward from the ground and the weight downward due to gravity. If the object loses contact with the ground, then the normal force will be zero, and the only force on the object will be its weight. If the only force is the weight, then the object will have an acceleration of g downward. Thus, the limiting condition for beginning to lose contact with the ground is when the maximum acceleration caused by the wave is greater than g. Any larger downward acceleration, and the ground would “fall” quicker than the object. The maximum acceleration is related to the amplitude and the frequency as given after Eq. 11–10.

### Responses to Questions

1. The acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator is momentarily zero as the mass passes through the equilibrium point. At this point, there is no force on the mass and therefore no acceleration.

2. Since the real spring has mass, the mass that is moving is greater than the mass at the end of the spring. Since 1 ,

2 k f

m π

= a larger mass means a smaller frequency. Thus the true frequency will be smaller than the massless spring approximation. And since the true frequency is smaller, the true period will be larger than the massless spring approximation. About one-third of the mass of the spring contributes to the total mass value.

3. The maximum speed is given by υmax =A k m/ . Various combinations of changing A, k, and/or m can result in a doubling of the maximum speed. For example, if k and m are kept constant, then doubling the amplitude will double the maximum speed. Or if A and k are kept constant, then reducing the mass to one-fourth of its original value will double the maximum speed. Note that changing either k or m will also change the frequency of the oscillator, since 1 .

2 k f

m π

= So doubling the frequency (no matter how it is done) will also double the maximum speed.

4. The period of a pendulum clock is inversely proportional to the square root of g, by Eq. 11–11a, 2 / .

T = π g When taken to high altitude, g will decrease (by a small amount), which means that the period will increase. If the period is too long, then the clock is running slow, so will lose time. 5. The tire swing is a good approximation of a simple pendulum. Pull the tire back a short distance and

release it so that it oscillates as a pendulum in simple harmonic motion with a small amplitude. Measure the period of the oscillations and calculate the length of the pendulum from the expression

= → = The length is the distance from the center of the tire to the branch. The height of the branch is plus the height of the center of the tire above the ground.

6. The displacement and velocity vectors are in the same direction while the oscillator is moving away from its equilibrium position. The displacement and acceleration vectors are never in the same direction.

7. The two masses reach the equilibrium point simultaneously. The period of oscillation is independent of amplitude and will be the same for both systems.

8. When walking at a normal pace, the period of a walking step is about 1 second. The faster you walk, the shorter the period. The shorter your legs, the shorter the period. If you approximate your leg as a pendulum of length 1 m, then the period would be T =2π /g=2 seconds.

9. When you rise to a standing position, you raise your center of mass and effectively shorten the length of the swing. The period of the swing will decrease, and the frequency will increase.

10. To make the water slosh, you must shake the water (and the pan) at the natural frequency for water waves in the pan. The water then is in resonance, or in a standing wave pattern, and the amplitude of oscillation gets large. That natural frequency is determined in part by the size of the pan—smaller pans will slosh at higher frequencies, corresponding to shorter wavelengths for the standing waves. The period of the shaking must be the same as the time it takes a water wave to make a “round trip” in the pan.

11. The frequency of a simple periodic wave is equal to the frequency of its source. The wave is created by the source moving the wave medium that is in contact with the source. If you have one end of a taut string in your hand, and you move your hand with a frequency of 2 Hz, then the end of the string in your hand will be moving at 2 Hz, because it is in contact with your hand. Then those parts of the medium that you are moving exert forces on adjacent parts of the medium and cause them to oscillate. Since those two portions of the medium stay in contact with each other, they also must be moving with the same frequency. That can be repeated all along the medium, so the entire wave throughout the medium has the same frequency as the source.

12. The speed of the transverse wave is the speed at which the wave disturbance moves along the cord. For a uniform cord, that speed is constant and depends on the tension in the cord and the mass density of the cord. The speed of a tiny piece of the cord is how fast the piece of cord moves perpendicularly to the cord as the disturbance passes by. That speed is not constant—if a sinusoidal wave is traveling on the cord, the speed of each piece of the cord will be given by the speed relationship of a simple harmonic oscillator (Eq. 11–9), which depends on the amplitude of the wave, the frequency of the wave, and the specific time of observation.

13. (a) Striking the rod vertically from above will displace particles in a direction perpendicular to the rod and will set up primarily transverse waves.

(b) Striking the rod horizontally parallel to its length will give the particles an initial displacement parallel to the rod and will set up primarily longitudinal waves.

14. From Eq. 11–14b, the speed of waves in a gas is given by υ= B/ .ρ A decrease in the density due to a temperature increase therefore leads to a higher speed of sound. We expect the speed of sound to increase as temperature increases.

(3)

pulse. The point of connection is a node—a point of no motion. For a free end, the incoming pulse “whips” the end of the rope in a direction transverse to the wave motion, stretching it upward. As that whipped end is pulled back toward the equilibrium position, this whipping motion generates a wave much in the same way that the pulse was originally created and thus creates a wave that is not reflected.

16. Although both longitudinal and transverse waves can travel through solids, only longitudinal waves can travel through liquids. Since longitudinal waves, but no transverse waves, are detected on the Earth diametrically opposite the location of an earthquake, there must be some liquid as part of the Earth’s interior.

17. The speed of a longitudinal wave is given in general by υ = elastic force factor/inertia factor. Even though the density of solids is 1000 to 10,000 times greater than that of air, the elastic force factor (bulk modulus) of most solids is at least 10 times as great as the bulk modulus of air. This difference 6 overcomes the larger density of most solids and accounts for the speed of sound in most solids being greater than in air.

18. (a) Similar to the discussion in Section 11–9 for spherical waves, as a circular wave expands, the circumference of the wave increases. For the energy in the wave to be conserved, as the circumference increases, the intensity has to decrease. The intensity of the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude.

(b) The water waves will decrease in amplitude due to dissipation of energy from viscosity in the water (dissipative or frictional energy loss).

19. Assuming the two waves are in the same medium, then they will both have the same speed. Since ,

f

υ= λ the wave with the smaller wavelength will have twice the frequency of the other wave. From Eq. 11–18, the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the frequency of the wave. Thus, the wave with the shorter wavelength will transmit four times as much energy as the other wave.

20. The frequency must stay the same because the media is continuous—the end of one section of cord is physically tied to the other section of cord. If the end of the first section of cord is vibrating up and down with a given frequency, then since it is attached to the other section of cord, the other section must vibrate at the same frequency. If the two pieces of cord did not move at the same frequency, then they would not stay connected, and the waves would not pass from one section to another.

21. Assuming that there are no dissipative processes, then yes, the energy is conserved. The particles in the medium, which are set into motion by the wave, have both kinetic and potential energy. At the instant in which two waves interfere destructively, the displacement of the medium may be zero, but the particles of the medium will have velocity and therefore kinetic energy.

22. Yes. If you touch the string at any node you will not disturb the motion. There will be nodes at each end as well as at the points one-third and two-thirds of the distance along the length of the string. 23. From Eq. 11–13, the speed of waves on the string is υ= FT/ .μ Equation 11–9b can be used to find

the fundamental frequency of oscillation for a string with both ends fixed, 1 . 2

f = υ Combining these

two relationships gives 1 1 . 2

24. The energy of a wave is not localized at one point, because the wave is not localized at one point, so referring to the energy “at a node” being zero is not a meaningful statement. Due to the interference of the waves, the total energy of the medium particles at the nodes is zero, but the energy of the medium is not zero at points of the medium that are not nodes. In fact, the antinodes have more energy than they would have if only one of the two waves were present.

25. Yes. A standing wave is an example of a resonance phenomenon, caused by constructive interference between a traveling wave and its reflection. The wave energy is distributed around the antinodes, which exhibit large-amplitude oscillations, even when the generating oscillations from the hand are small. 26. This description of waves works well initially for both descriptions, but the waves continue after the

initial motion. When the center is struck, a wave does move from the center to the rim, but then it reflects from the rim back to the center. Likewise, when the rim is struck, a wave does move from the rim to the center, but the wave does not “stop” at the center. Once reaching the center, it then spreads out again to the rim. The amplitude of the waves also changes as the waves travel. As the radius increases, the amplitude decreases, and as the radius decreases, the amplitude increases.

27. AM radio waves have a much longer wavelength than FM radio waves. How much waves bend, or diffract, around obstacles depends on the wavelength of the wave compared with the size of the obstacle. A hill is much larger than the wavelength of FM waves, so there will be a “shadow” region behind the hill. However, the hill is not large compared with the wavelength of AM signals, so the AM radio waves will bend around the hill.

### Responses to MisConceptual Questions

1. (e) At x= ±A, the velocity is zero, but at these points the acceleration is a maximum. At x=0, the acceleration is zero, but the velocity is a maximum. For all other points, both the velocity and acceleration are nonzero. Thus there are no points where the acceleration and velocity are simultaneously zero.

2. (a, c, d) At the turning points in the oscillation (x= ± A), the velocity is zero and the acceleration is a maximum, so (a) is true. At the center of the oscillation (x= 0), the acceleration is zero and the velocity is a maximum, so (c) is true. Since the velocity is only zero at the turning points where the acceleration is a maximum, there is no point where both the velocity and acceleration are zero, so (b) is not true. At all other points besides x= ±A and x=0, both the acceleration and velocity are nonzero values, so (d) is also true.

3. (c) Students may believe that the period is proportional to the mass and therefore think that doubling the mass will double the period. However, the period is proportional to the square root of the mass, as seen in Eq. 11–6a. Therefore, the mass must be quadrupled (to 4M) for the period to double.

4. (b) A common misconception is that the amplitude of oscillation affects the frequency. Eq. 11–6b shows that the frequency can be increased by increasing k or decreasing m. The frequency does not depend upon the amplitude.

5. (a) The small angle approximation is valid only in units of radians because the angle in radians is equal to the ratio of the arc length to the radius. At small angles the arc length can be

(5)

to the radius of the circle. This ratio is equal to the sine of the angle, so for small angles the angle in radians is equal to the sine of the angle.

6. (e) A common misconception is that the starting angle, or amplitude of oscillation, affects the period of a pendulum. Eq. 11–11a shows that the period of a small-amplitude pendulum is determined by the length of the string and the acceleration of gravity, not the amplitude. Both oscillations will then have the same period.

7. (c) Students may erroneously believe that the mass of the child will affect the period of oscillation. However, Eq. 11–11a shows that the period is determined by the length of the swing cords and the acceleration of gravity. It does not depend upon the weight of the child. Since the swings are identical, they should oscillate with the same period.

8. (a) To speed up the pendulum, the period of the oscillation must be decreased. Equation 11–11a shows that the period is proportional to the square root of the length, so shortening the string will decrease the period. The period does not depend upon the mass of the bob, so changing the mass will not affect the period.

9. (e) Students frequently have trouble distinguishing between the motion of a point on a cord and the motion of a wave on the cord. As a wave travels down the cord, a point on the cord will move vertically between the lowest point of the wave and the highest point on the wave. The wave and the point have the same amplitude. The point on the cord completes one up and down oscillation as each wavelength passes that point. Therefore, the motion of the point on the cord has the same frequency as the wave. The speed of the wave on the string is determined by the wavelength and frequency. It is constant in time. The point on the cord moves perpendicular to the wave with a speed that varies with time. The maximum speed of the point is proportional to the wave amplitude and the wave frequency. Changing the amplitude will change the maximum speed of the point on the cord, but it does not change the wave speed. The wave speed and string speed therefore are not equal.

10. (a) A common misconception is that the waves are objects that can collide. Waves obey the superposition principle such that at any point on the rope the total displacement is the sum of the displacements from each wave. The waves pass through each other unaffected.

11. (d) Equation 11–13 shows that the wave speed on a cord is related to the tension in the cord and the mass per unit length of the cord. The wave speed does not depend upon the amplitude,

frequency, or wavelength. Stretching the cord increases the tension and decreases the mass per unit length, both of which increase the speed of the wave on the cord.

12. (d) The point on the string does not move horizontally, so answers (a) and (b) cannot be correct. The string has zero velocity only at the turning points (top and bottom), so (e) cannot be correct. Examining the graph shows that as the wave moves to the right the crest is approaching point B, so the string at B is traveling upward at this instant.

13. (d) Students frequently confuse the medium (an object) with the wave motion and answer that the waves will collide and bounce off of each other. The waves obey the superposition principle such that at any point in the lake the amplitude of the wave is the sum of the individual amplitudes of each wave. This produces the various patterns when they overlap. The waves, however, will pass through each other and continue in their same pattern after they pass. 14. (c) The speed of the wave along the Slinky depends upon the mass of the Slinky and the tension

(6)

speed can also be written as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Therefore, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength must decrease.

15. (a) A common misconception is that a wave transports matter as well as energy. However, as shown by a transverse wave on a horizontal string, the wave transports the disturbance down the string, but each part of the string stays at its initial horizontal position.

Linear momentum is conserved in this collision. The speed that the combination has right after the collision is the maximum speed of the oscillating system.

After one day, the clock in question is 21 seconds slow, which means that it has made 10.5 fewer cycles than are required for precise timekeeping. Thus the clock is only making 43,189.5 cycles in a day. Accordingly, the period of the clock must be decreased by a factor of 43,189 5.

If both sides of the equation are multiplied by 180 / rad,°π then the angles can be measured in degrees. Thus the angular displacement of the pendulum can be written as below. Note that the argument of the cosine function is still in radians.

There will be significant diffraction only for wavelengths larger than the width of the window, so waves with frequencies lower than 460 Hz would diffract when passing through this window. 62. Consider the conservation of energy for the person. Call the unstretched position of the fire net the

zero location for both elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy. We can measure both the amount of stretch of the fire net and the vertical displacement for gravitational potential energy by the variable y, measured positively for the upward direction. Calculate the spring constant by

65. For the penny to stay on the block at all times means that there will be a normal force on the penny from the block, exerted upward. If down is taken to be the positive direction, then the net force on the penny is Fnet=mg F− N =ma. Solving for the magnitude of the normal force gives FN =mg ma− . This expression is always positive if the acceleration is upward (a<0), so there is no possibility of the penny losing contact while accelerating upward. But if a downward acceleration were to be larger than g, then the normal force would go to zero, since the normal force cannot switch directions (FN >0). Thus the limiting condition is adown =g. This is the maximum value for the acceleration. For SHM, we also know that amax =ω2A=M mk AMk A.

When the block is pushed into the water (downward) an additional distance ,Δx there is an increase in the buoyancy force (Fextra) equal to the weight of the additional water displaced. The weight of the extra water displaced is the density of water times the volume displaced.

F =m gV ggA xΔ = ρ gA xΔ

This is the net force on the displaced block. Note that if the block is pushed down, the additional force is upward. And if the block were to be displaced upward by a distance Δx, the buoyancy force would actually be less than the weight of the block by the amount Fextra, so there would be a net force downward of magnitude Fextra. In both upward and downward displacement, there is a net force of magnitude (ρwatergA x)Δ but opposite to the direction of displacement. So we can write

net ( water ) ,

F = − ρ gA xΔ indicating that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of the displacement. This is the equation of simple harmonic motion, with a “spring constant” of

Then when the man steps off, the restoring force pushes upward on the raft, and thus the raft–water system acts like a spring, with a spring constant found as follows:

If there is no normal force on the pebble, then the only force on the pebble is the force of gravity, and the acceleration of the pebble will be g downward, the acceleration due to gravity. This is the maximum downward acceleration that the pebble can have. Thus, if the board’s downward

acceleration exceeds g, then the pebble will lose contact. The maximum acceleration and the amplitude are related by amax kA 2A 4 2 2f A.

(b) Since F=2kx ma= for an object attached to a spring, the acceleration is proportional to the displacement (although in the opposite direction), as a= −xk m/ . Thus the acceleration will have half its maximum value where the displacement has half its maximum value, at 1

76. Consider energy conservation for the mass over the range of motion from letting go (the highest point) to the lowest point. The mass falls the same distance that the spring is stretched, and has no KE at either endpoint. Call the lowest point the zero of gravitational potential energy. The variable x represents the amount that the spring is stretched from the equilibrium position.

80. We assume that the earthquake wave is moving the ground vertically, since it is a transverse wave. An object sitting on the ground will then be moving with SHM, due to the two forces on it—the normal force upward from the ground and the weight downward due to gravity. If the object loses contact with the ground, then the normal force will be zero, and the only force on the object will be its weight. If the only force is the weight, then the object will have an acceleration of g downward. Thus, the limiting condition for beginning to lose contact with the ground is when the maximum acceleration caused by the wave is greater than g. Any larger downward acceleration, and the ground would “fall” quicker than the object. The maximum acceleration is related to the amplitude and the frequency as given after Eq. 11–10.

(b) If the two strings have the same length, they have the same wavelength. The frequency difference is then due to a difference in wave speed caused by different masses for the strings. The mass enters the problem through the mass per unit length.
