Simple Harmonic Motion
A trampoline exerts a restoring force on the
jumper that is directly proportional to the
displacement of the mat. (Fs=kx). Such
restoring forces provide the driving forces
necessary for objects that oscillate with
simple harmonic motion.
Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion Back and forth motion that
is caused by a force that is directly proportional to the
displacement. (F=kx) The displacement centers around
an equilibrium position.

Period, T, is the time

Frequency, f, is the
number of complete
oscillations per

Position graph of a spring
When you graph the motion of a spring, it is
a sine function
Position time graph for SHM
The amplitude of the curve is the max

Equilibrium Line
Period, T, is the time for one revolution or in the case of springs the time for
ONE COMPLETE oscillation (One crest and trough). Oscillations could also
be called vibrations and cycles. In the wave above we have 1.75 cycles or
waves or vibrations or oscillations.
SHM and Uniform Circular Motion
Springs (and waves) behave very similar to objects that move in
circles.
If you trace out the position of an object on the outside of a
circle, you get a sine function (remember the unit circle??)

Example
A 200 g mass is attached to a spring and executes
simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.25 s If the
total energy of the system is 2.0 J, find the (a) force
constant of the spring (b) the amplitude of the motion

• Velocity is positive when moving to the right
and negative when moving to the left.
• It is zero at the end points and a maximum
at the midpoint in either direction (+ or -).

• Acceleration is in the direction of the

negative, and negative when x is positive.)
• Acceleration is a maximum at the end points
and it is zero at the midpoint of oscillation.
Example A 2-kg mass hangs at the end of a
spring whose constant is k = 400 N/m. The
mass is displaced a distance of 12 cm and
released. What is the acceleration at the

Example: What is the maximum acceleration
for the 2-kg mass in the previous problem? (A

The maximum acceleration occurs when the restoring
force is a maximum; i.e., when the stretch or
compression of the spring is largest.

Pendulums
Pendulums, like springs, oscillate
back and forth exhibiting
simple harmonic behavior.
http://www.walterfendt.de/ph14e/pendulum.htm
The restoring force is the force that brings the pendulum back to its equilibrium

Consider the FBD for a pendulum. Here we have the
weight and tension. Even though the weight isn’t at an
