Simple Harmonic Motion

Cards in this deck (6)
- 1Types of WavesPulse wave- a wave with one crest
Periodic waves-continuous pattern of crests
Standing Wave- a wave with still nodes
Longitudinal Waves- waves were the disturbance is parallel
Transverse Waves- waves were the disturbance is perpendicular
Electromagnetic Waves- A disturbance in electric and magnetic fields that transfers energy and momentum
Mechanical Waves- a disturbance that carries and momentum through a medium without transferring mass - 2EquationsUs+K=ΣE
f = c / λ
nf1=fn
E=K+U
k=mω
T=2π(sqrt(m)/sqrt(k)) - 3Other VocabOscillation- regularly repeating the motion
Period- the amount of time per oscillation
Frequency- oscillations per second
Amplitude- maximum displacement from the equilibrium point
Restoring Force- a net force that responds to a change in position by pushing or pulling force
Medium- is the substance that a wave travels - 4Harmonicsa multiple of the fundamental
also is a mechanical wave
- 5Unitsamplitude- meters
period- seconds
wavelength- meters
frequency-Hertz - 6kinetic energy compared to the positionaway from eq. point-kinetic energy and speed go down
approaching eq. point- kinetic energy and speed goes up
