3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define Simple Harmonic Motion.
Focus on the relationship between force and displacement.
What does the negative sign in F = -kx represent?
Think about the direction of the forces involved.
What is the formula for the restoring force in SHM?
Consider the direction of the force relative to displacement.
True or False? The total energy in Simple Harmonic Motion remains constant.
Reflect on energy transformations in SHM.
A mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 50 N/m. If the mass attached is 2 kg, calculate the angular frequency and period of the oscillation.
Recall the formulas for angular frequency and period.
Describe the energy transformations during one complete cycle of a mass-spring system executing SHM.
Think of kinetic and potential energy interchange as it oscillates.
