SHM 2 1. A spring has a spring constant of .9 and a mass of 10 kg is attached. a. If it pulled back to .3 m, what is the kinetic energy of the spring mass half way to the equilibrium point? 2. What is the kinetic energy at time 3 seconds? 3. A pendulum of length .250 m is thermally expanded to .255 m. What is the original period of the pendulum and the final period of the pendulum? 4. How many hours will the initial length pendulum be behind a pendulum clock if that pendulum clock has a period of one second after 100 days?
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
