Bell Ringer • What is the period of a spring-mass system in which a 3.5kg mass is displaced 1.5m on a spring with a constant of 2.5N/m?
Galileo Galilei Period of Pendulum (1564-1642)
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) • Pendulum approximates SHM when oscillated with an initial angle of 15o or less xo= 0 equilibrium
Period of a Pendulum • T period (s) • l length (m) • g acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)
Period of a Pendulum Demo Does NOT depends on: • mass • amplitude Depends on: • Length • gravity
Velocity • Maximum velocity occurs at equilibrium • Zero velocity at amplitude zero velocity zero velocity max velocity
Frequency Equation • f frequency (Hz) • T period (s)
In-Class Problem #1 A pendulum of mass 1.5 kg has a length of 0.15 m. Determine (a) the period and (b) frequency of the pendulum. T = 0.78 s f = 1.29 Hz
In-Class Problem #2 If a pendulum has a period of 2.0 s on Earth determine its period on the Planet Hoth where the acceleration due to gravity is 13.2 m/s2. l = 0.99 m T = 1.72 s
