1
Simple Harmonic Motion
2
Ideal Springs F Applied =kx k = spring constant
x = displacement of the spring +x pulled displacement -x compressed displacement
3
Hooke’s Law F = -kx Describes the restoring force of an ideal spring
Negative sign indicates that this force always goes in the opposite direction of displacement
4
Hooke’s Law This type of restoring force will create a back and forth or up and down type of motion This type of friction-free motion is designated simple harmonic motion The maximum excursion from equilibrium is the amplitude A
5
Period Mass-Spring Complex T = 2π√(m/k) Pendulum T = 2π√(L/g)
6
The Reference Circle Simply a ball moving in uniform circular motion
The shadow cast by the ball on a film creates the same type of sinusoidal pattern It makes another model of simple harmonic motion
7
Displacement x = A cos q = A cos wt w = 2p/ T f = 1 / T
w = 2pf ( w is often called angular frequency) X = A cos 2πft
8
Energy & Simple Harmonic Motion
Welastic = ½ kxo2 – ½ kxf2 Us = ½ kx2 ETotal = ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2 + mgh + ½ kx2
