QuestionA block hangs on a spring attached to the ceiling and is pulled down 11 in below its equilibrium position. After release, the block makes one complete up-anddown cycle in 1 sec and follows simple harmonic motion.
Part: 0/50 / 5
Part 1 of 5 (a) What is the period of motion? P=P= \square sec

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The block follows simple harmonic motion.
2. The block completes one full cycle in 1 second.

STEP 2

1. Understand the definition of the period in simple harmonic motion.
2. Relate the given information to the definition.
3. Determine the period of motion.

STEP 3

Understand the definition of the period in simple harmonic motion.
The period P P is the time it takes for one complete cycle of motion.

STEP 4

Relate the given information to the definition.
We are told that the block makes one complete up-and-down cycle in 1 second.

STEP 5

Determine the period of motion.
Since the block completes one full cycle in 1 second, the period P P is:
P=1 sec P = 1 \text{ sec}
The period of motion is:
1 sec \boxed{1} \text{ sec}
