Circular Motion + Ocillations
Circular Motion
Angular Speed
Angle an object rotates through per second
ω = θ/t
Linked to linear speed
v = rω
Fequencey and Period
ω = 2πf
ω = 2π/T
Objects travelling in circles are accelerating since their velocity is always changing
a = v^2/r
a = ω^2r
Created by a centripetal force acting towards the center of the circle
F = mv^2/r
F = mω^2r
Gravitational Fields
Motion of Masses
v = √GM/r
T = 2πr/v
Substitute for v
T^2 = (4π^2/GM)r^3
Geostationary satellites have the same angular speed as the earth turns below it
Kepler's 3rd Law
T^2 ∝ r^3
An object with mass will experience an attractive force when placed in the gravitational field of another object
Newton's Law of Gravitation
F = -GMm/r^2
r = distance between center points
This is an inverse square law
F ∝ 1/r^2
Gravitational field strength
Force per unit mass
g = F/m
g = -GM/r^2
Inverse square law applies
Simple Harmonic Motion
An object in SHM oscillates either side of a midpoint
There is always a restoring force pushing the object back to the midpoint
Restoring force exchanges PE and KE
PE -> KE towards midpoint as restoring force does work
Velocity
Vmax = (2πf)A
Acceleration
amax = -(2πf)^2A
Displacement
Start at midpoint = Sin
Start at amplitude = Cos
Free and Forced Vibrations
Free
No transfer of energy with surroundings
Keeps oscillating with the same amplitude forever
Forced
External driving force present
Frequency of the force = Driving frequency
Resonance
When Driving force = Natural Frequency
Damping
Reduces amplitude of oscillation over time
Critical Damping
Reduces amplitude in the shortest time possible
Overdamping takes longer to return to equilibrium than critical
Decreases amplitude of resonance
