Periodic Motion • Recall that • Using the fact that the maximum displacement is A, the work energy theorem states
Solving for the velocity, get • Using the solution for position, the velocity becomes
Importance of Periodic Motion • All atomic and molecular bonds can be approximated by springs • All signals can be decomposed into sets of periodic motions • Non periodic motion can also be decomposed into sets of periodic motions
Simple Pendulum • Newton’s second law yields
For small angles, sinq ~ q • Recall that q = x/r, a = a/r, so • Comparing with Hooke’s Law, see that
