oscillating systemsystem where the body moves back and forth about
:
a an equilibrium position .




Characteristic of an oscillating system periodic motion :




periodic motion : the body will return to a previous state after a certain time period .




examples of oscillating systems pendulum spring

mass system .

|
the simple pendulum

pendulum : small mass
hanging on a
string or a rod .




+ne simple pendulum makes modeling more simple

assumptions / properties of a simple pendulum :




the rod /
string is inextensible
the pivot is frictionless
massless rod / string



restoring force : force acting in the opposite direction to displacement from the
equilibrium point .




simple harmonic motion

simple harmonic motion occurs when a particle that is disturbed away from its fixed
equilibrium position .




Simple harmonic motion occurs when acceleration is proportional but opposite to its
displacement

simple harmonic motion can be modeled using sine and cosine curves .




examples of SHM
a only produces SHM at small angles (approximately 20° )
pendulum .




a
spring mass system acts as SHH without any type of friction force
-




cycle : when a particle moves from a displacement and after some time return to
said displacement .




amplitude ( Xo) the : maximum displacement from equilibrium position .




Period ( T ) the time:
it takes to complete a
cycle

frequency (f ) : the number of cycles per second .

acceleration time -


graph negative cosine curve
:




at point A :
the negative maximum acceleration
at point B :
the positive maximum acceleration
at point 0 :
there is zero acceleration


These graphs show the proportional and opposite relationship .

Potential energy is zero at equilibrium and
maximum at maximum displacement .
