Oscillations Motion that repeats itself at regular intervals: Spring Pendulum Rocking horse Diatomic molecule Kid on a trampoline Special case: Simple harmonic motion (SHM)
oscillation Simple Harmonic Motion Classic case of SHM: Mass on a massless spring with no friction M x = 0 Defines equilibrium length
T = 1/f = 2p/w Simple Harmonic Motion Defined x(t) = xmcos(wt + f) xm = amplitude of oscillation w = angular frequency (radians/second) f = w/2p = “frequency” # of cycles/second T = 1/f = “period” f = “phase” of motion (radians) (tells you position and velocity at t = 0) x xm t -xm
What is Phase? x(t) = xmcos(t + ) • determines position and velocity at t = 0 (and shifts oscillation at any later time) x f = 0 f < 0 f > 0 t
w x y r t x Visualizing SHM Equivalent to the 1-dimensional projection of an object executing uniform circular motion http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/shm/shm.html
a x v t SHM: Acceleration and Velocity
k What Sort of Force Gives SHM? a(t) = -w2x(t) Ftot = ma = -mw2 x Force is proportional to displacement with a negative constant of proportionality Hooke’s law! F = -kx w = (k/m)½ m w is the frequency of oscillation of the mass w does not depend on amplitude of motion
Fspring mg x0 m Example: Hanging Mass What about a hanging spring? Does it still obey SHM Ftot = mg-kx = ma Equilibrium when: mg = kx0 x0 = mg/k
x0 m Example: Hanging Mass What is the frequency of oscillation? Need a solution to: Try: Same as before with x shifted by x0 = mg/k

Simple Pendulum For small angles, θ L m h = L(1-cosθ)
Simple Pendulum Follows SHM Looks like a spring Solution by analogy Spring Pendulum
Simple Pendulum: Questions Q1. If we double θm, the period: a) is half as large d) is 4 times greater b) is twice as large e) stays the same c) is √2 times greater Q2. If we double L, the period: a) is half as large d) is 4 times greater b) is twice as large e) stays the same c) is √2 times greater
Physical Pendulum An object with physical extent: d θ COM We know the solution from before: mg Any system with a minimum in energy looks like a SHO near equilibrium
Amplitude Time Damped Oscillations SHM is an idealization Energy is constant Motion never decays In real life the motion eventually stops Energy 0 Need to add a damping force in the equation of motion: Fd = -bv Direction opposite to motion Magnitude proportional to velocity
Damped Oscillations SHM equation of motion (no damping) Adding the damping term: How do we solve this?
