Simple Harmonic Motion and Elasticity

Learning ObjectivesOscillations Simple harmonic motion (dynamics and energy relationships)

Students should understand simple harmonic motion, so they can:• Sketch or identify a graph of displacement as a function of time, and

determine from such a graph the amplitude, period, and frequency of the motion.

• Write down an appropriate expression for displacement of the form Asin(t) or Acos(t) to describe the motion.

• State the relations between acceleration, velocity, and displacement, and identify points in the motion where these quantities are zero or achieve their greatest positive and negative values.

• State and apply the relation between frequency and period.• State how the total energy of an oscillating system depends on the

amplitude of the motion, sketch or identify a graph of kinetic or potential energy as a function of time, and identify points in the motion where this energy is all potential or all kinetic.

• Calculate the kinetic and potential energies of an oscillating system as functions of time, sketch or identify graphs of these functions, and prove that the sum of kinetic and potential energy is constant.

Learning Objectives Mass on a spring

Students should be able to apply their knowledge of simple harmonic motion to the case of a mass on a spring, so they can:

• Apply the expression for the period of oscillation of a mass on a spring.

• Analyze problems in which a mass hangs from a spring and oscillates vertically.

• Analyze problems in which a mass attached to a spring oscillates horizontally.

Pendulum and other oscillations Students should be able to apply their knowledge of simple harmonic

motion to the case of a pendulum, so they can:

• Apply the expression for the period of a simple pendulum.

• State what approximation must be made in deriving the period.

Section 6:

Driven Harmonic Motion and Resonance

Driven Harmonic Motion

When a force is applied to an oscillating system at all times, the result is driven harmonic motion.

Here, the driving force has the same frequency as the spring system and always points in the direction of the object’s velocity.

RESONANCE

Resonance is the condition in which a time-dependent force can transmit large amounts of energy to an oscillating object, leading to a large amplitude motion.

Resonance occurs when the frequency of the force matches a natural frequency at which the object will oscillate.

a) They should continue marching with the same period.

b) Every other row of soldiers should take two steps for every one taken by the rows of soldiers ahead and behind them.

c) Every other row of soldiers should take a step with their right foot when the rows of soldiers ahead and behind them are stepping with their left feet, but keep marching with the same period.

d) They should all walk at their own pace so that they do not cause resonance on the bridge.
