3. Grade Policy
Final Grade = 5% Handwritten Note + 9% Homework % Quizzes + 29% Midterm Exam % Final Exam + Extra Points
You are expected to write a note along the lectures to record your own conclusions or materials which are not covered by the lecture slides.
Your handwritten note will be checked on Lecture 11 (after Quiz 3), and given back to you on Lecture 12.
Handwritten note contributes 5% of final grade.
Homeworks will be given in fairly regular basis. The average of homework grades contributes 9% of final grade.
Homeworks are to be written on A4 papers, otherwise they will not be graded.

4. Grade Policy
Homeworks must be submitted on time, at least one day before the schedule of the next lecture.
Late submission will be penalized by point deduction of –10·n, where n is the total number of lateness made
But: A homework can be submitted late without penalty if a scanned or photographed version of the homework is sent to at least one day before the schedule of the class.

5. Heading of Homework Papers (Required)
Grade Policy
There will be 3 quizzes (in Lecture 4, Lecture 9, and Lecture 11). Only the best 2 will be counted. The average of quiz grades contributes 19% of final grade.
Midterm and final exam schedule will follow the schedule given by Academic Administration Bureau.

6. Lecture Activities How to get good grades in this class?
Extra points will be given if you solve a problem in front of the class or if you send answer to quizzes. You will earn 1, 2, or 3 points.
Make up of quizzes will be held one week after the schedule of the respective quizzes and exams.
To maintain the integrity, the score of a make up quiz or exam, upon discretion, can be multiplied by 0.9 (the maximum score for a make up is 90).

8. Simple Harmonic Motion
The following figure shows a sequence of “snapshots” of a simple oscillating system.
A particle is moving repeatedly back and forth about the origin of an x axis.
One important property of oscillatory motion is its frequency, or number of oscillations that are completed each second.
The symbol for frequency is f, and its SI unit is the hertz (abbreviated Hz).
1 hertz = 1 Hz
= 1 oscillation per second
= 1 s–1

9. Simple Harmonic Motion
Related to the frequency is the period T of the motion, which is the time for one complete oscillation (or cycle).
Any motion that repeats itself at regular intervals is called periodic motion or harmonic motion.
We are interested here only in motion that repeats itself in a particular way, namely in a sinusoidal way.
For such motion, the displacement x of the particle from the origin is given as a function of time by:

10. Simple Harmonic Motion
This motion is called simple harmonic motion (SHM).
Means, the periodic motion is a sinusoidal function of time.
The quantity xm is called the amplitude of the motion. It is a positive constant.
The subscript m stands for maximum, because the amplitude is the magnitude of the maximum displacement of the particle in either direction.
The cosine function varies between ±1; so the displacement x(t) varies between ±xm.

11. Simple Harmonic Motion
The constant ω is called the angular frequency of the motion.
The SI unit of angular frequency is the radian per second. To be consistent, the phase constant Φ must be in radians.

13. Checkpoint

(a) t = 2T
(b) t = 3.5T
(c) t = 5.25T
(d) t = 2.8T ?
At +xm
At –xm
At 0
Between 0 and +xm

14. Velocity and Acceleration of SHM
By differentiating the equation of displacement x(t), we can find an expression for the velocity of a particle moving with simple harmonic motion:
Knowing the velocity v(t) for simple harmonic motion, we can find an expression for the acceleration of the oscillating particle by differentiating once more:

15. Plotting The Motion Plot the following simple harmonic motions:xm

16. The Force Law for Simple Harmonic Motion
Now we can use Newton’s second law to learn what force must act on the particle to give it that acceleration:
This result – a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement but opposite in sign – is familiar.
It is Hooke’s law for a spring:
with the spring constant being k = mω2.
Conclusion: Simple harmonic motion is the motion executed by a particle, subject to a force that is proportional to the displacement of the particle but opposite in sign.

17. The Force Law for Simple Harmonic Motion
The block–spring system below forms a linear simple harmonic oscillator (or linear oscillator, for short).
The relation between the angular frequency ω of the simple harmonic motion of the block is related to the spring constant k and the mass m of the block as follows:
For the period of the linear oscillator, after combining, we can write:

18. Example 1
A block whose mass m is 680 g is fastened to a spring whose spring constant k is 65 N/m. The block is pulled a distance x = 11 cm from its equilibrium position at x = 0 on a frictionless surface and released from rest at t = 0.
(a) What are the angular frequency, the frequency, and the period of the resulting motion?
(b) What is the amplitude of the oscillation?
(c) What is the maximum speed vm of the oscillating block, and where is the block when it has this speed?

19. Example 1

(d) What is the magnitude am of the maximum acceleration of the block?
(e) What is the phase constant Φ for the motion?
Why?
(f) What is the displacement function x(t) for the spring–block system?

20. Example 2
At t = 0, the displacement x(0) of the block in a linear oscillator is –8.5 cm. The block’s velocity v(0) the is –0.920 m/s, and its acceleration a(0) is +47 m/s2.
(a) What is the angular frequency ω of this system?

21. Example 2
At t = 0, the displacement x(0) of the block in a linear oscillator is –8.5 cm. The block’s velocity v(0) the is –0.920 m/s, and its acceleration a(0) is +47 m/s2.
(b) What are the phase constant Φ and amplitude xm? ? ?
Since

22. Example 3
A block with m = 500 g is attached to a massless spring and is free to oscillate on a frictionless floor. The equilibrium position is 25 cm from the origin of the x axis.
At t = 0, the block is pressed 10 cm from the equilibrium and then released. A force of magnitude 5 N is needed to press the spring.
