  1. PHY138 – Waves, Lecture 2Today’s overview • Hooke’s Law and Oscillation of Springs • Hanging Springs • The Pendulum • Damped Oscillations; Shock Absorbers • Driven Oscillations; Resonance

  2. Want to do Research? Pre-Med Society Annual Research Fair Friday, Nov.9th @ 3:30 MSB 3153 Learn about research opportunities from representatives of various fields of science, as well as organizations at U of T —LMP, physiology, immunology, and more! For more info, visit: www.utoronto.ca/premed, or our Facebook group: U of T Pre-Medical Society Pizza and drinks will be served!

  3. Clicker Quiz Gravitational Potential Energy increases with height. Elastic Potential Energy increases as a spring is stretched. Kinetic Energy increases with speed. • A mass hangs motionless from a spring. When the mass is pulled down and held at rest, the total energy of the mass and spring is • A. larger than before. • B. the same as before. • C. less than before.

  4. Reading Assignment • Next week’s reading is Knight Chapter 20, Sections 20.1 – 20.7. (We are skipping Chapters 15,16,17,18 and 19.) There is a pre-class quiz on www.masteringphysics.com for Chapter 20 due on Monday morning. • A www.masteringphysics.comProblem Set on Chapter 14 is due on Friday at 11:59PM. • Test 1 will be given back to you at the end of tutorial this week. Marks will be posted on STORM by Wednesday.

  5. Two pendula have the same length, but different mass. The force of gravity, F=mg, is larger for the larger mass. Which will have the longer period? A. the larger mass B. the smaller mass C. neither

  6. Mass on Spring versus Pendulum

  7. A person swings on a swing. When the person sits still, the swing oscillates back and forth at its natural frequency. If, instead, two people sit on the swing, the natural frequency of the swing is A. greater B. the same C. smaller
