Photo by Mark Tippens A TRAMPOLINE exerts a restoring force on the jumper that is directly proportional to the average force required to displace the mat. Such restoring forces provide the driving forces necessary for objects that oscillate with simple harmonic motion.
After finishing this section, you should be able to: • Write and apply Hooke’s Law for objects moving with simple harmonic motion. • Write and apply formulas for finding the frequency f,period T,velocity v, or accelerationa in terms of displacementxor time t. • Describe the motion of pendulums and calculate the length required to produce a given frequency.
AmplitudeA Periodic Motion Simple periodic motion is that motion in which a body moves back and forth over a fixed path, returning to each position and velocity after a definite interval of time. Period, T, is the time for one complete oscillation. (seconds,s) Frequency, f, is the number of complete oscillations per second. Hertz (s-1)
x F Example 1:The suspended mass makes 30 complete oscillations in 15 s. What is the period and frequency of the motion? Period: T = 0.500 s Frequency: f = 2.00 Hz
x F Simple Harmonic Motion, SHM Simple harmonic motionis periodic motion in the absence of friction and produced by a restoring force that is directly proportional to the displacement and oppositely directed. A restoring force, F, actsin the direction opposite the displacement of the oscillating body. F = -kx
x F m DF Dx k = Hooke’s Law When a spring is stretched, there is a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement. F = -kx The spring constant k is a property of the spring given by:
Hooke's law is the relationship between the force exerted on the mass and its position x

The stretching force is the weight (W = mg) of the 4-kg mass: F = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s2) = 39.2 N Now, from Hooke’s law, the force constant k of the spring is: k = 196 N/m
Period and Frequency as a Function of Mass and Spring Constant. For a vibrating body with an elastic restoring force: Recall that F = ma = -kx: The frequencyfand the periodTcan be found if the spring constant k and mass m of the vibrating body are known. Use consistent SI units.

x F m Summary Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is that motion in which a body moves back and forth over a fixed path, returning to each position and velocity after a definite interval of time. The frequency (rev/s) is the reciprocal of the period (time for one revolution).
x F m Summary (Cont.) Hooke’s Law: In a spring, there is a restoringforce that is proportional to the displacement. The spring constant k is defined by:
