2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define simple harmonic motion.
Think about how forces act in oscillating systems.
What is the relationship between circular motion and SHM?
Visualize a ball being rotated around a circle.
What is the formula for the position in SHM?
Remember the variables involved in SHM.
Is the projection of a particle moving in a circle considered SHM?
Visualize the motion.
A mass attached to a spring exhibits SHM with a period of 2 seconds. If the spring constant is 100 N/m, calculate the mass.
Plug values into the rearranged formula for mass.
If an object has an amplitude of 0.5 m and an angular frequency of 4 rad/s, find its maximum speed in SHM.
Recall how amplitude and angular frequency interact.
