ENERGY AND SIMPLE HARMONIC
MOTION24
A spring also has potential
energy when the spring is
stretched or compressed,
which we refer to as elastic
potential energy. Because of
elastic potential energy, a
stretched or compressed
spring can do work on an
object that is attached to the
spring.
25
26
DEFINITION OF ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY
The elastic potential energy PEelastic is the energy that a
spring has by virtue of being stretched or compressed.
For an ideal spring that has a spring constant k and is
stretched or compressed by an amount x relative to its
unstrained length, the elastic potential energy is

EXAMPLE 7. AN OBJECT ON A

An object of mass m = 0.200 kg that is vibrating on a
horizontal frictionless table. The spring has a spring constant
k = 545 N/m. It is stretched initially to x0 = 4.50 cm and then
released from rest (see part A of the drawing). Determine the
final translational speed vf of the object when the final
displacement of the spring is (a) xf = 2.25 cm and (b) xf = 0 cm.

CHANGING THE MASS OF A SIMPLE
HARMONIC OSCILLATOR
32
A box of mass m attached to a
spring that has a force constant k.
The box rests on a horizontal,
frictionless surface. The spring is
initially stretched to x = A and then
released from rest. The box then
executes simple harmonic motion
that is characterized by a maximum
speed vmax, an amplitude A, and an
angular frequency w.
33
When the box is passing through the point where the spring
is unstrained (x = 0 m), a second box of the same mass m and
speed vmax is attached to it, as in part b of the drawing.
Discuss what happens to (a) the maximum speed, (b) the
amplitude, and (c) the angular frequency of the subsequent
simple harmonic motion.
(a) The maximum speed of the two-box system remains the
same as that of the one-box system.
(c) The angular frequency of the two-box system is smaller
than that of the one-box system by a factor of 2

that of the one-box system by a factor of 2

by the same amount, but the block is given different initial
speeds. Rank the amplitudes of the resulting simple

When we walk, our legs alternately swing forward about the
hip joint as a pivot. In this motion the leg is acting
approximately as a physical pendulum. Treating the leg as a
uniform rod of length D = 0.80 m, find the time it takes for
the leg to swing forward.
The desired time is one-half of the period or 0.75 s.
CONCEPTUAL QUESTION 6
41
REASONING AND SOLUTION A block is attached to a
horizontal spring and slides back and forth in simple
harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal surface. A
second identical block is suddenly attached to the first block
when the first block is at one extreme end of the oscillation
cycle.
a. Since the attachment is made at one extreme end of the
oscillation cycle, where the velocity is zero, the extreme
end of the oscillation cycle will remain at the same point;
in other words, the amplitude remains the same.
42
b. The angular frequency of an object of mass m in simple
harmonic motion at the end of a spring of force constant k
is given by Equation 10.11: . Since the mass m
is doubled while the force constant k remains the same,
the angular frequency decreases by a factor of . The
vibrational frequency f is related to w by f = w/(2 ) ; the
vibrational frequency f will also decrease by a factor of
w k /m

CONCEPTUAL QUESTION 11
43
REASONING AND SOLUTION From Equations 10.5 and 10.11,
we can deduce that the period of the simple harmonic motion of
an ideal spring is given by , where m is the mass at
the end of the ideal spring and k is the spring constant. We can
deduce from Equations 10.5 and 10.16 that, for small angles, the
period, T, of a simple pendulum is given by where L
is the length of the pendulum.
T 2 m/ k
T 2 L /g
In principle, the motion of a simple pendulum and an object on an ideal
spring can both be used to provide the period of a clock. However, it is
clear from the expressions for the period given above that the period of
the mass-spring system depends only on the mass and the spring
constant, while the period of the pendulum depends on the acceleration
due to gravity. Therefore, a pendulum clock is likely to become more
inaccurate when it is carried to the top of a high mountain where the
value of g will be smaller than it is at sea level.
CONCEPTUAL QUESTION 12
44
REASONING AND SOLUTION We can deduce from
Equations 10.5 and 10.16 that, for small angles, the period, T,
of a simple pendulum is given by where L is the
length of the pendulum. This can be solved for the
acceleration due to gravity to yield:

If you were held prisoner in a room and had only a watch and a pair
of shoes with shoelaces of known length, you could determine
whether this room is on earth or on the moon in the following way:
You could use one of the shoelaces and one of the shoes to make a
pendulum. You could then set the pendulum into oscillation and use
the watch to measure the period of the pendulum. The acceleration
due to gravity could then be calculated from the expression above. If
the value is close to 9.80 m/s2, then it can be concluded that the room
is on earth. If the value is close to 1.6 m/s2, then it can be concluded
that the room is on the moon.

REASONING AND SOLUTION From Conceptual Example 2,
we know that when the spring is cut in half, the spring

Thus, each of the four shorter springs with 25 coils has a
spring constant of 4 420 N/m1680 N/m
