2 Waves New Topic Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 3 Simple Harmonic Motion: The restoring force is proportional to the negative of the displacement (like F=-kx) ma = F d x m = kx dt d x dt k + x m = 0 d x + ω x = 0, with ω = dt k m general solution: x = Acos( ω t + φ) A is amplitude, φ is phase angle. They are determined by initial conditions (the value of x and v at t=0.) Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 4 Page

3 Phase angle x = Acos( ω t + φ) dx v = = Aω sin( ωt + φ) dt A measure of different starting positions (and velocities) Both A and φ can be determined by initial conditions: At t = 0 : x v 0 0 = Acosφ, = ωasinφ A = x 0 + v0 tanφ = x ω ( v / ω) Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 5 0 0, The graph shows a particle in SHM. (a) What is the phase constant φ 0? (b) What is the phase of the particle at the numbered points on the graph? (c) Place dots (with labels) on the circle to indicate the particle s position corresponding to the numbered points. Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 6 Page 3 3

4 What does the v vs. t graph look like? A particle moves CCW around a circle at constant speed. From the phase constants, show the particle s initial position and sketch two cycles of the x vs. t graph. Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 7 Simple Harmonic Circular Motion If we look at uniform circular motion from the side, the object appears to move in simple harmonic motion Top View: v = v 0 v x = v 0 v = v 0 v x = 0 y A x θ x Consider the x-position of the object: x = Acos θ now θ = ω t x = Acos (ωt) Side View: y Click here for demo x = +A Phys 10: Introduction, Pg 8 Page 4 4
