Happy Thursday! 2-11-16
Get ready for warm up #9
Warm ups are due tomorrow!
Pick up the paper on the front table and
grab a calculator
Get ready to take notes: we are starting
on a new unit!!

level b, or level c?
A. At level a
B. At level b

Simple Harmonic Motion
“back & forth”
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
 simple harmonic motion – Simple harmonic motion
(SHM) is a repeated motion of a particular frequency
and period
 Happens in spring, pendulums and waves
 Occurs when the restoring force on an object is directly
proportional to the displacement of the object from its
equilibrium position
Restoring force  brings an object back to its equilibrium position
If simple harmonic motion is occurring, there are
oscillations

What is a pendulum?
A mass hung from a string tied at one end to a
pivot point
is free to swing down by gravity and then out
and up because of its inertia, or tendency to
stay in motion
The forces of gravity act on the pendulum to
restore it to it’s
equilibrium position

What is the period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is the time it
takes the pendulum to make one full
back-and-forth swing.

Factors that effect the period of a
pendulum
Length of the string
Starting angle (height) of the pendulum
Mass DOES NOT effect the period of a
pendulum
foucault pendulum
conservation of energy

is the strength of the
spring

The period of oscillation of a spring
Depends upon two things:
1. The mass
2. The strength of the spring (k)

Small masses vibrate with
shorter periods
Large masses vibrate with
longer periods
Springs with larger constants
(stronger)
vibrate with shorter periods

Springs with smaller
constants
(weaker)
vibrate with longer periods
14
Spring Oscillation
You can determine the strength of a
spring, the amount of mass and the
displacement of a spring by using Hooke’s
Law
Hooke’s Law
F  kx
where
x = D length
kSHM spring constant

places a 2.2 kg package on his scale,
which compresses the scale by 2.8 cm.
What is the spring constant of his scale?

SHM: Period & Frequency
 Period ( T )
[measured in seconds]
 The time it takes for one complete oscillation (e.g., back-and-forth)
 Frequency ( f ) [measured in hertz (Hz)]
 The number of oscillations that occur in one second
Period & frequency are reciprocals (inverses) of each other

Definitions: Vibrations & Waves
Simple (middle school) definitions are:
Vibration – “a wiggle in time”
Wave – “a wiggle in space and time”
