1 Simple Harmonic Motion

2 Ideal Springs F Applied =kx k = spring constant
x = displacement of the spring +x  pulled displacement -x  compressed displacement

3 Hooke’s Law F = -kx Describes the restoring force of an ideal spring
Negative sign indicates that this force always goes in the opposite direction of displacement

4 Hooke’s Law This type of restoring force will create a back and forth or up and down type of motion This type of friction-free motion is designated simple harmonic motion The maximum excursion from equilibrium is the amplitude  A

5 Period Mass-Spring Complex T = 2π√(m/k) Pendulum T = 2π√(L/g)

6 The Reference Circle Simply  a ball moving in uniform circular motion
The shadow cast by the ball on a film creates the same type of sinusoidal pattern It makes another model of simple harmonic motion

7 Displacement x = A cos q = A cos wt w = 2p/ T f = 1 / T
w = 2pf ( w is often called angular frequency) X = A cos 2πft

8 Energy & Simple Harmonic Motion
Welastic = ½ kxo2 – ½ kxf2 Us = ½ kx2 ETotal = ½ mv2 + ½ Iw2 + mgh + ½ kx2
