Section 11-3, read the deriving of formula… Section 11-3, read the deriving of formula… T s = 2 m/k Formula for Period of Spring m= mass k= spring constant
Not direct relationship! Not direct relationship! T m/k Mass must QUADRUPLE to double period Mass must QUADRUPLE to double period We can Substitute… We can Substitute… f = 1/T = f = 1/2 k/m
What are T & f of the car example on pg.311 after hitting a bump? Assume shock absorbers are poor so car really oscillates a lot. What are T & f of the car example on pg.311 after hitting a bump? Assume shock absorbers are poor so car really oscillates a lot. T = 2 √m/k = 6.28 √ 1400kg/ 6500N/m =.92sec F = 1/.92 = 1.09Hz
A small insect (.3g) is caught in a spider web (mass-less). The web vibrates at 15Hz A small insect (.3g) is caught in a spider web (mass-less). The web vibrates at 15Hz a. estimate the value of K for the web b. find f for an insect of mass.1g.
f = 1/2 √K/m K = (2 f) 2 m = (6.26 x 15) 2 (3 x kg) 2.7 N/m Sub in for M 1 x kg f = 26Hz
Simple Pendulum What determines T for a Pendulum? What determines T for a Pendulum? Mass of bob Amplitude of swing Length of string Gravity of location × ×
Formula T p = 2 √ L / g F = 1 / T = ½ √ g / L For pendulums to be said to be in SHM the displacement angle has to be small- less than 15°
Damped Harmonic Motion Amplitude of a swinging spring on a pendulum slowly decreases in time until the oscillations stop all together. Amplitude of a swinging spring on a pendulum slowly decreases in time until the oscillations stop all together. X Time
Damping is caused by air friction and internal friction within the system Damping is caused by air friction and internal friction within the system Common dampening systems are shock absorbers and door closing mechanisms. Common dampening systems are shock absorbers and door closing mechanisms.
A = over damped (too slow) B= Critically damped C=under damped (still oscillating) C B A x time
Resonance… Forced Vibrations Objects have natural resonant frequencies. When vibrations are put on an object that are at the natural resonant frequency, an increase in amplitude is observed.

If pushing is random- swing just bounces around If pushing is random- swing just bounces around But if you push with frequency equal to Natural Resonant Frequency(NRF) you can get a big amplitude But if you push with frequency equal to Natural Resonant Frequency(NRF) you can get a big amplitude Swing

Wave Motion mechanical waves for now… mechanical waves for now… -OVER HEAD- -OVER HEAD- Is the velocity of a wave moving along a cord the same as the velocity of a particle of the cord? Is the velocity of a wave moving along a cord the same as the velocity of a particle of the cord? NO – velocities are different so are directions…
