Periodic Motion
Special Case:
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
• Only valid for small oscillation amplitude
• But SHM approximates a wide class of
periodic motion, from vibrating atoms to
vibrating tuning forks...
Starting Model for SHM:
mass m attached to a spring
Demonstration
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
• x = displacement of mass m
from equilibrium
• Choose coordinate x so that
x = 0 is the equilibrium position
• If we displace the mass m, a restoring force
F acts on m to return it to equilibrium (x=0)
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
• By ‘SHM’ we mean Hooke’s Law holds:
for small displacement x (from equilibrium),
F=–kx
ma = – k x
• negative sign: F is a ‘restoring’ force
(a and x have opposite directions)
Demonstration: spring with force meter
What is x(t) for SHM?
• We’ll explore this using two methods
• The ‘reference circle’:
x(t) = projection of certain circular motion
• A little math:
Solve Hooke’s Law
d 2x
F m 2 kx
dt
The ‘Reference Circle’
P = mass on spring: x(t)
Q = point on reference circle
P = projection of Q
onto the screen
The ‘Reference Circle’
P = mass on spring: x(t)
Q = point on reference circle
A = amplitude of x(t)
(motion of P)
A = radius of reference circle
(motion of Q)
The ‘Reference Circle’
P = mass on spring: x(t)
Q = point on reference circle
f = oscillation frequency of P
= 1/T (cycles/sec)
w = angular speed of Q
= 2p /T (radians/sec)
w = 2p f
What is x(t) for SHM?
See additional notes or Fig. 13-4 for q
P = projection of Q onto screen.
We conclude the motion of P is:
x(t ) A cos q
q (t ) wt

• v = dx/dt
v=0
at x = A
|v| = max at x = 0
• a = dv/dt
|a| = max at x = A
a =0

increase one of A, m, k
• (a) change A : same T
• (b) larger m : larger T
• (c) larger k : shorter T

• As the body oscillates,
E is continuously
transformed from K to

• T = period of oscillation
• definitions of x and w depend on the SHM
Different Types of SHM
• horizontal (have been discussing so far)
• vertical (will see: acts like horizontal)
• swinging (pendulum)
• twisting (torsion pendulum)
• radial (example: atomic vibrations)

Damped
Simple Harmonic Motion
See transparency on damped block-spring
SHM: Ideal vs. Damped
• Ideal SHM:
• We have only treated the restoring force:
• Frestoring = – kx
• More realistic SHM:
• We should add some ‘damping’ force:
• Fdamping = – bv

• this is the simplest model:
• damping force proportional to velocity
• b = ‘damping constant’
(characterizes strength of damping)
SHM: Ideal vs. Damped
• In ideal SHM, oscillator energy is constant:
E=K+U
,
dE/dt = 0
• In damped SHM, the oscillator’s energy
decreases with time:
E(t) = K + U
,
dE/dt < 0

Application
• Shock absorbers:
• want critically damped
(no oscillations)
• not overdamped
(would have a
slow response time)
Forced Oscillations
(Forced SHM)
Forced SHM
• We have considered the presence of a
‘damping’ force acting on an oscillator:
Fdamping = – bv
• Now consider applying an external force:
Fdriving = Fmax coswdt
Forced SHM
• Every simple harmonic oscillator has a
natural oscillation frequency
• (w if undamped, w´ if underdamped)
• By appling Fdriving = Fmax coswdt we force
the oscillator to oscillate at the frequency wd
(can be anything, not necessarily w or w´)

Electrical Concepts
• electric charge:
Q
• current (moving charge):
I = dQ/dt
• resistance (Q collides with atoms): R
• voltage (pushes Q through wire):
V = RI
Voltage (moves charges)
• resistance R causes charge Q to lose energy:
V = RI
• (voltage = potential energy per unit charge)
• C and L also cause energy (voltage) changes
Circuit Element
D(Voltage)
• R = resistance
(Q collides with atoms)
VR = RI
• C = capacitance
(capacity to store Q on plate)
VC = Q/C
• L = inductance
VL = L(dI/dt)
(inertia towards changes in I)
Change in Voltage = Change in Energy
• voltage = potential energy per unit charge
