Study Notes
Simple Harmonic Motion
- The period (T) is the time for one complete cycle and is measured in seconds.
- The frequency (f) is the number of cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz equals 1 cycle per second (s⁻¹).
- Frequency and period are inversely related: ( f = \frac{1}{T} ) and ( T = \frac{1}{f} )
Angular Frequency
- Angular frequency ((\omega)) is related to frequency and period by: ( \omega = 2\pi f = \frac{2\pi}{T} )
Simple Harmonic Motion
- SHM is motion that repeats itself, with displacement exhibiting a sinusoidal pattern.
Mass on a Spring
Spring Constant
- The spring constant (k) measures a spring's stiffness; stiffer springs have larger k values, measured in N/m.
Restoring Force
- ( F_x = -kx ): describes the restoring force exerted by a spring, proportional to displacement.
SHM
- ( x(t) = A\cos(\omega t) ) is the equation for SHM, where ( A ) is the amplitude (maximum displacement).
- An object in SHM oscillates between -A and +A.
Velocity
- ( v(t) = \frac{dx}{dt} = -A\omega \sin(\omega t) ) describes velocity in SHM.
- The maximum speed is ( v_{\text{max}} = A\omega ).
Acceleration
- ( a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt} = -A\omega^2 \cos(\omega t) = -\omega^2 x(t) ) defines acceleration in SHM.
- The maximum acceleration is ( a_{\text{max}} = A\omega^2 ).
Angular Frequency
- ( \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} ) is the angular frequency for a mass-spring system.
Period
- ( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} ) determines the period of oscillation for a mass-spring system.
Frequency
- Frequency is calculated by( f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} ) for a mass-spring system.
SHM Example: Part (a)
- A 200 g mass oscillates on a spring with ( k = 7.00 , \text{N/m} ), and the maximum speed is ( 1.20 , \text{m/s} )
- Calculate total energy: ( E = \frac{1}{2} m v_{\text{max}}^2 = \frac{1}{2} (0.200 , \text{kg}) (1.20 , \text{m/s})^2 = 0.144 , \text{J} )
SHM Example: Part (b)
- Find the amplitude: ( E = \frac{1}{2} k A^2 )
- ( 0.144 , \text{J} = \frac{1}{2} (7.00 , \text{N/m}) A^2 ), which gives ( A = 0.203 , \text{m} = 20.3 , \text{cm} )
SHM Example: Finding Phase Constant
- A 50.0 g mass oscillates on a spring with ( k = 4.00 , \text{N/m} ). Initial position is ( x = +3.00 , \text{cm} ), and initial velocity is ( -0.600 , \text{m/s} ).
- Calculate angular frequency: ( \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{4.00 , \text{N/m}}{0.050 , \text{kg}}} = 8.94 , \text{rad/s} )
- Position and velocity functions are ( x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi) ) and ( v(t) = -A\omega \sin(\omega t + \phi) )
- Initial conditions: ( x(0) = 0.03 = A \cos(\phi) ) and ( v(0) = -0.60 = -A\omega \sin(\phi) )
- Divide initial velocity by initial position to find ( \tan(\phi) ): ( \frac{v(0)}{x(0)} = \frac{-0.60}{0.03} = -\omega \tan(\phi) )
- Calculate ( \tan(\phi) ): ( \tan(\phi) = \frac{0.60}{0.03 \omega} = \frac{0.60}{0.03 (8.94)} = 2.232 )
- Solve for the phase constant: ( \phi = \tan^{-1}(2.232) = 1.15 ) radians ( = 65.9^\circ )
- Now find the amplitude: ( A = \frac{0.03}{\cos(1.15)} = 0.070 , \text{m} = 7.0 , \text{cm} )
