    Simple Harmonic Motion: Hooke's Law

    Uploaded by

    rasajati
    The document discusses simple harmonic motion and some key equations: 1) Hooke's law states that the restoring force on an object is proportional to its displacement from equilibrium. 2) The frequency and period of oscillation are inversely related, with frequency equal to 1/period. 3) For an object undergoing simple harmonic motion, its position, velocity and acceleration can be described using cosine and sine functions of angular frequency and time.

    Simple Harmonic Motion

    Hookes law: F = kx ([k] = N/m)

    the sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite the displacement

    Frequency: f = 1 ([f] = Hz)

    Period: T = 1 ([T] = s)
    f

    Simple Harmonic Motion:

    for an object oscillating in simple harmonic motion:

    x = A cos t xmax = A
    v = A sin t vmax = A
    a = A cos t 2
    amax = A 2

    2
    = 2 f =
    T

    Note: v = 0 at x = +A; v = vmax at x = 0


    a = 0 when x = 0; a=amax at x = +A

    for a mass m oscillating on a spring with spring constant k:

    k 1 k m
    = f = T = 2
    m 2 m k

    Elastic Potential Energy: PE = 1 kx 2

    Conservation of Energy: 1 mv02 + mgh0 + 1 kx02 = 1 mv 2f + mgh f + 1 kx 2f
