Kepler’s Laws

Each Planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one focus of the ellipse.

A line from the sun to a given planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

The periods of the planets are proportional to the 3/2 power of the major axis lengths of their orbits.

Periodic Motion

Goals for Chapter 14

• To describe oscillations in terms of amplitude, period, frequency and angular frequency

• To do calculations with simple harmonic motion

• To analyze simple harmonic motion using energy

• To apply the ideas of simple harmonic motion to different physical situations

• To analyze the motion of a simple pendulum

• To examine the characteristics of a physical pendulum

• To explore how oscillations die out

• To learn how a driving force can cause resonance

Introduction

• Why do dogs walk faster than humans? Does it have

anything to do with the characteristics of their legs?

• Many kinds of motion (such as a pendulum, musical

vibrations, and pistons in car engines) repeat themselves.

We call such behavior periodic motion or oscillation.

What causes periodic motion?

• If a body attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position, the spring exerts a restoring force on it, which tends to restore the object to the equilibrium position. This force causes oscillation of the system, or periodic motion.

• Figure 14.2 at the right illustrates the restoring force Fx.

Characteristics of periodic motion

• The amplitude, A, is the maximum magnitude of displacement from equilibrium.

• The period, T, is the time for one cycle.

• The frequency, f, is the number of cycles per unit time.

• The angular frequency, , is 2π times the frequency: = 2πf.

• The frequency and period are reciprocals of each other: f = 1/T and T = 1/f.

Simple harmonic motion (SHM)

• When the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium, the resulting motion is called simple harmonic motion (SHM).

• An ideal spring obeys Hooke’s law, so the restoring force is Fx = –kx, which

results in simple harmonic motion.

Energy diagrams for SHM


Energy in SHM

• The total mechanical energy E = K + U is conserved in SHM:

E = 1/2 mvx2 + 1/2 kx2 = 1/2 kA2 = constant


Angular SHM

• A coil spring (see Figure 14.19 below) exerts a restoring torque

z = –, where is called the torsion constant of the spring.

• The result is angular simple harmonic motion.

Vibrations of molecules

• Figure 14.20 shows two atoms having centers a distance r apart,

with the equilibrium point at r = R0.

• If they are displaced a small distance x from equilibrium, the

restoring force is Fr = –(72U0/R02)x, so k = 72U0/R0

motion is SHM.

The simple pendulum

• A simple pendulum

consists of a point mass

(the bob) suspended by a

massless, unstretchable

string.

• If the pendulum swings

with a small amplitude

with the vertical, its

motion is simple

harmonic. (See Figure

14.21 at the right.)

The physical pendulum

• A physical pendulum is

any real pendulum that

uses an extended body

instead of a point-mass

bob.

• For small amplitudes, its

motion is simple harmonic.

Damped oscillations

• Real-world systems have

some dissipative forces that

decrease the amplitude.

• The decrease in amplitude is

called damping and the

motion is called damped

oscillation.

• Figure 14.26 at the right

illustrates an oscillator with a

small amount of damping.

• The mechanical energy of a

damped oscillator decreases

continuously.


Forced oscillations and resonance

• A forced oscillation occurs if a driving force acts on an oscillator.

• Resonance occurs if the frequency of the driving force is near the

natural frequency of the system. (See Figure 14.28 below.)
