Study Notes
Simple Harmonic Motion
- Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction.
- The equation for the displacement of an object undergoing SHM is x (t) = A cos (ωt + φ) , where:
- A is the amplitude (maximum displacement)
- ω is the angular frequency (2πf, where f is the frequency of the motion)
- φ is the phase constant (determines the initial position).
- The velocity and acceleration can be found by taking the first and second derivatives of the displacement equation.
- The force acting on a particle of mass m in SHM is given by F (t) = –mω2 x (t), or F (t) = –k x (t), where k = mω2.
Circular Motion and SHM
- Uniform circular motion can be viewed as the projection of SHM onto a diameter of the circle.
- The projection of a particle moving uniformly in a circle onto a diameter executes simple harmonic motion.
- The reference circle and the reference particle (moving in the circle) are helpful in visualizing SHM.
Simple Pendulum
- A simple pendulum consists of a small bob of mass m attached to an inextensible massless string of length L.
- The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum for small angular displacements is given by T = 2π√(L/g) where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
- The restoring force for the simple pendulum is mg sinθ, where θ is the angle made by the string with the vertical.
