    SHM Velocity

    The velocity of an object in simple harmonic motion is given by the derivative of the position function, using the sine function. v(t) = -vA sin(vt + φ)

    Study Notes

    Oscillatory Motion

    • Periodic motion is motion of an object that regularly returns to a given position after a fixed time interval.
    • Examples include: a car returning to the driveway, a chandelier swinging, the Earth orbiting the Sun.
    • Other examples include: molecules in solids oscillating, light waves, electromagnetic waves, alternating-current electrical circuits.

    Simple Harmonic Motion

    • In simple harmonic motion, the force acting on an object is proportional to its position relative to an equilibrium position and directed opposite the displacement.
    • The acceleration of the object is proportional to its position and directed opposite the displacement from equilibrium.
    • If a block is displaced to a position 'x', the spring exerts a force 'F = -kx' (Hooke's Law) towards equilibrium position.

    Analysis Model: Particle in Simple Harmonic Motion

    • The motion is represented by the differential equation: d²x/dt² = -ω²x where ω² = k/m.
    • A solution to the equation is: x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ) where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and φ is the phase constant.
    • The period of the motion (T) is related to the angular frequency by T = 2π/ω.
    • The frequency (f) is the inverse of the period: f = 1/T = ω/2π .
    • The amplitude, A, is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
    • The phase constant, φ, depends on the initial position and velocity. For example, if x=A at t = 0, then φ = 0

    Mechanical Energy

    • The total mechanical energy (E) of a simple harmonic oscillator is constant and given by: E = kA².
    • Energy is continually transformed between Kinetic (K) and Potential (U) energy forms.
    • Kinetic energy at maximum = E
    • Potential energy at maximum = E

    The Pendulum

    • The simple pendulum is a mechanical system of a particle suspended from a fixed point by a string of length L.
    • With small angles of oscillation (𝜃), the motion can be modeled as simple harmonic motion.
    • Period of a simple pendulum: T = 2π√(L/g). T depends only on length (L) and acceleration due to gravity (g).

    Damped Oscillations

    • In real-world systems, nonconservative forces (e.g., friction, air resistance) retard the motion.
    • This causes energy to be dissipated, causing the amplitude to decrease over time in an exponential manner.
    • The solution equation is: x = Ae^(-b/2m)t cos(wt + φ).
      • 'A' is the amplitude,
      • 'b' is the damping coefficient,
      • 'm' is the mass,
      • 'ω' is the angular frequency.

    Forced Oscillations

    • An external force that varies periodically, like F(t) = Fo sin wt, can compensate for the energy loss due to damping.
    • The amplitude of the oscillation is constant when the energy input per cycle equals the energy dissipated per cycle.
    • When the frequency (ω) of the driving force is close to the natural frequency (ω₀) of the oscillator, resonance occurs, and the amplitude is large.
