PHYS16 – Lecture 32

Ch. 15 Oscillations

Oscillations pre-question

• Is a bouncing ball an example of simple harmonic motion?

A) YesB) No

Oscillations pre-question

• Two kids are swinging on two swings of the same height – one kid is a little chubbier than the other. Neglecting frictional forces, which kid completes a back and forth swing in the fastest time?

A) The chubby kidB) The skinny kidC) The kid who pushes off the ground the bestD) Both complete in the same time

Outline for Oscillations

• Simple Harmonic Motion– Position, Velocity, Acceleration– Force– Energy

• Resonance and Damping

Simple Harmonic Motion

1) About Equil.2) Periodic3) Sinusoidal

Discussion: Examples of SHM?

• Mass on a Spring• Pendulum

• Snowboarder in halfpipe• Bungee jumper• Child on swing• Bobble head doll?

Discussion: Phase

• Your book says that displacement is in terms of cosine and I just said that it is in terms of sine? Who is right?

There is also a phase term (φ) that let’s you set the initial condition.If the oscillation starts at A it is a sine with a φ=90 degrees or a cosinewith a φ=0 degrees.

Example Question

• An object undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude and period are doubled, the object’s max speed is:

A) QuadrupledB) DoubledC) UnchangedD) HalvedE) Quartered

Simple Harmonic Motion:Restoring Force

Restoring Force

• Force that always points back to the equilibrium position – Example = spring

k is just a constant – for a spring it is the spring constant

• Movement

• Restoring Force creates oscillation

• Energy is dependent on amplitude
