d2x k = - x dt2 m Notice that the acceleration of the particle in SHM is not constant. It varies with position x. d2x = -w2x dt2 dv d2x , Since a = = dt dt2 If we call k/m = w2,
One possible solution is : x(t) = A cos(wt + f) d2x = -w2x dt2 (second-order differential equation) We need a function x(t) whose second derivative is the same as the original function with a negative sign and multiplied by w2.
dx d = A cos(wt + f) = -wA sin(wt + f) dt dt d2x d = -wA sin(wt + f) = -w2A cos(wt + f) dt2 dt d2x = -w2x dt2 Proof
k w = m x(t) = A cos(wt + f) Amplitude (A) : maximum value of the position of the particle in either the positive or negative direction. Angular Frequency (w) : number of oscillations per second. Since k/m = w2,
If particle is at maximum position x = A at t = 0, the phase constant f = 0. f = 0 Phase Constant (f) : initial phase angle. This is determined by the position of the particle at t = 0.
2p T = w Period (T) : the time interval required for the particle to go through one full cycle of its motion.
1 w f = f = T 2p Frequency (f) : the inverse of period. The number of oscillations that the particle undergoes per second. Since T = 2p/w, The Hertz (Hz) is the SI unit for frequency.
2p w = 2pf = T Since w = k/m and T = 2p/w , m T = 2p k depend only on mass and spring constant k 1 f = 2p m Since f = w/2p,
dx d = A cos(wt + f) = -wA sin(wt + f) dt dt v = -wA sin(wt + f) d2x d = -wA sin(wt + f) = -w2A cos(wt + f) dt2 dt a = -w2A cos(wt + f) Velocity in Simple Harmonic Motion Acceleration in Simple Harmonic Motion
