12.2 – measuring simple harmonic motion
1. Identify the amplitude of vibration
2. Recognize the relationship between period and
frequency
3. Calculate the period and frequency of an object
vibrating with simple harmonic motion.
Properties of SHM
• The object is moving over
the SAME PATH over the
course of time.
• The time it takes to
complete one back and forth
cycle is always the SAME
TIME.
• In Physics, a motion that is
regular and repeating is
referred to as a PERIODIC
MOTION.
Amplitude, period and frequency
• AMPLITUDE (A): the maximum displacement from
equilibrium. It is a reflection of ENERGY possessed
by the vibrating object. The SI unit of A is m, cm, …
• PERIOD (T): the TIME it takes to execute ONE COMPLETE
CYCLE of motion. The SI unit of T is second.
• FREQUENCY (f): the NUMBER OF CYCLES or vibrations
PER UNIT OF TIME. The SI unit of f is Hertz or (1/s)
Amplitude of Vibration
Period and Frequency
• If we collect the data on position and time of mass on a
spring and graph position vs. time, the graph might look
like this:
Period (T) is 0.05 s (time of one complete cycle)
Frequency (f) describes number of cycles per unit of time:
f = 2/0.10s = 20 Hz.
frequency and period are inversely related to each other

Example #1
•
A pendulum is observed to complete 23 full cycles in 58
seconds. Determine the period and the frequency of the
pendulum.
Example #2
• A mass is tied to a spring and begins vibrating
periodically. The distance between its highest
and its lowest position is 38 cm. What is the
amplitude of the vibrations?
The Period of a Pendulum
• For amplitude that is less than 15o, the period of a simple
pendulum is independent of mass and amplitude (angle).
• the period is directly proportional to the square root of the
length of the string.

• You need to know the height of a tower, but darkness
obscures the ceiling. You note that a pendulum extending
from the ceiling almost touches the floor and that its period is

Lab – period of a pendulum
Purpose (5 pt): To determine
How amplitude affect period
How length affect period
How mass affect period
Material (5 pt): computer string Vernier computer interface 2 ring stands and
pendulum clamp, Logger Pro, Vernier Photogate, meter stick, protractor
Procedure (10 pt):
–
Briefly describe how the lab is going to be done. Someone who was not
present during the lab should be able to understand how the experiment was
perforem and be able to reporduce the results by reading your procedure.
Data section (20 pt):
–
The Data Section should include three tables of data with labeled column
headings (and units) to demonstrate a systematic study of the effect of
amplitude, mass and length upon the period of the pendulum.
Data analysis (20 pt):
–
Three graph show the relationship between T vs. Amplitude, T vs. Mass and
T vs Length
Conclusion (10):
–
The Conclusion section should respond to the questions raised in the
Purpose.
PROCEDURE
1. Use the ring stand to hang a mass from a string.
2. Attach the Photogate to the second ring stand. Position it so that the mass blocks the
Photogate while hanging straight down. Connect the Photogate to DIG/SONIC 1 on the
interface.
3. Open the file “14 Pendulum Periods” in the Physics with Computers folder. A graph of period
vs. time is displayed.
4. Temporarily move the mass out of the center of the Photogate. Notice the reading in the
status bar of Logger Pro at the bottom of the screen, which shows when the Photogate is
blocked. Block the Photogate with your hand; note that the Photogate is shown as blocked.
Remove your hand, and the display should change to unblocked. Click and move your hand
through the Photogate repeatedly. After the first blocking, Logger Pro reports the time
interval between every other block as the period. Verify that this is so.
5. Now you can perform a trial measurement of the period of your pendulum. Pull the mass to
the side about 10º from vertical and release. Click
and measure the period for five
complete swings. Click . Click the Statistics button, , to calculate the average period. You
will use this technique to measure the period under a variety of conditions.
6. To determine how the period depends on amplitude, measure the period for five different
amplitudes using the protractor so that the mass with the string is released at a known
angle. Repeat Step 5 for each different amplitude. Record the data in your data table.
7. To determine how the period depends on length, measure the pendulum length from the
rod to the middle of the mass and use the data for amplitude of 20º. Exchange data with
other groups. Record the data from each group of same amplitude, same mass, different
length in the second data table.
