Question: For a massm attached to a spring with spring constant, Newton's Second Law says the displacement of the mass,x(t) should obey the differential equation d^2x/dt^2=-(k/m)(x)(t)
For a massm attached to a spring with spring constant, Newton's Second Law says the displacement of the mass,x(t) should obey the differential equation
d^2x/dt^2=-(k/m)(x)(t)
If the mass crossesx=0 at timet=0 then one can show the displacement should be given by a functionof the formx(t)=Acos(bt)
.
Find the second derivative ofx(t)=Acos(bt), i.e compute(d^2)x/dt^2 usingx(t)=Acos(bt) Do not includex(t)in your answer.
d^2x/dt^2=
