Chapter 11.1 Harmonic Motion CPO Science Integrated Physics & Chemistry
4
Developing A Model What does harmonic motion mean? What are some examples of harmonic motion? What is the difference between linear motion and harmonic motion?
5
Key Questions What is harmonic motion? How do we describe the back and forth motion of a pendulum?
6
Developing An Experiment What variables effect the pendulums period? —Mass, amplitude, and length —How can we change the variables? What material will we need? What data needs to be collected? —Period, How can we calculate period? 2 times the timer —Length, mass, and amplitude
7
Run The Experiment Set up the Pendulum Tips: —How many variables can you test at a time? —If you think one variable may effect the period, test it first to the extreme. —Work as a group to help keep variables constant.
8
What did you learn? What did you discover about the three variables? Why didn’t mass and amplitude affect the period? —Mass gravity is constant —Amplitude conservation of energy Graph the data that you have
9
What did you learn?
10
Developing An Experiment Why does the amplitude change during the experiment? —Friction Where does the friction come from? We call the friction in harmonic motion damping —Have you ever experienced damping? How long does damping take in the pendulum?
11
What Did You Learn? What did you discover about the two variables? What would you want to have in order to reduce the effect of damping? —Large mass & long length Graph the data that you have
12
Summary What is harmonic motion? —Is a pendulum harmonic motion? How do we describe the motion of the pendulum? What affect does damping have on the pendulum ?
