Topic 4: Oscillations and waves4.2 Energy changes during SHM 4.2.1 Describe the interchange between kinetic energy and potential energy during SHM. 4.2.2 Apply the expressions for kinetic, potential, and total energy of a particle in SHM. 4.2.3 Solve problems, both graphically and by calculation, involving energy changes during SHM.
Topic 4: Oscillations and waves4.2 Energy changes during SHM Describe the interchange between kinetic energy and potential energy during SHM. Consider the pendulum to the right which is placed in position and held there. Let the green rectangle represent the potential energy of the system. Let the red rectangle represent the kinetic energy of the system. Because there is no motion yet, there is no kinetic energy. But if we release it, the kinetic energy will grow as the potential energy diminishes. A continuous exchange between EK and EP occurs.

Consider the mass- spring system shown here. The mass is pulled to the right and held in place. Let the green rectangle represent the potential energy of the system. Let the red rectangle represent the kinetic energy of the system. A continuous exchange between EK and EP occurs. Note that the sum of EK and EP is constant. FYI If friction and drag are both zero ET = CONST.

If we plot both kinetic energy and potential energy vs. time for either system we would get the following graph:
relation between EK and EP EK + EP = ET = CONST relation between EK and x relation EK,max and x0 EK = (1/2)m2(x02 – x2) EK,max = (1/2)m2x02 Topic 4: Oscillations and waves4.2 Energy changes during SHM Apply the expressions for kinetic, potential, and total energy of a particle in SHM. Recall the relation between v and x that we derived in the last section: v = (x02 – x2). Then v2 = 2(x02 – x2) (1/2)mv2 = (1/2)m2(x02 – x2) EK = (1/2)m2(x02 – x2). Recall that vmax = v0 = x0 so that we have EK,max = (1/2)mvmax2 = (1/2)m2x02. These last two are in the Physics Data Booklet.

EXAMPLE: A 3.00-kg mass is undergoing SHM with a period of 6.00 seconds. Its amplitude is 4.00 meters. (a) What is its maximum kinetic energy and what is x when this occurs? SOLUTION: = 2/T = 2/6 = 1.05 rads-1. x0 = 4 m. EK,max = (1/2)m2x02 = (1/2)(3)(1.052)(42) = 26.5 J. EK = EK,max when x = 0.

EXAMPLE: A 3.00-kg mass is undergoing SHM with a period of 6.00 seconds. Its amplitude is 4.00 meters. (b) What is its potential energy when the kinetic energy is maximum and what is the total energy of the system? SOLUTION: EK = EK,max when x = 0. Thus EP = 0. From EK + EP = ET = CONST we have 26.5 + 0 = ET= 26.5 J.

EXAMPLE: A 3.00-kg mass is undergoing SHM with a period of 6.00 seconds. Its amplitude is 4.00 meters. (c) What is its potential energy when the kinetic energy is 15.0 J? SOLUTION: Since ET = 26.5 J then From EK + EP = 26.5 = CONST so we have 15.0 + EP = 26.5 J EP = 11.5 J.

EXAMPLE: A 3.00-kg mass is undergoing SHM with a period of 6.00 seconds. Its amplitude is 4.00 meters. (a) What is its potential energy when x = 2.00 m. What is its kinetic energy at this instant? SOLUTION: = 2/T = 2/6 = 1.05 rads-1. x0 = 4 m. ET = (1/2)m2x02 = (1/2)(3)(1.052)(42) = 26.5 J. EP = (1/2)m2x2= (1/2)(3)(1.052)(22) = 6.62 J. ET = EK + EP so 26.5 = EK + 6.62 or EK = 19.9 J.
