Questão Responda
Oscillations that obey SHM have these characteristics: Acceleration (and resultant force) is proportional to the displacement of a body from the equilibrium position. The acceleration (and RF) always acts towards the equilibrium position (which is opposite to displacement direction).
Acceleration-Displacement graph for SHM:
What does this graph tell us? a ∝ -x (x = displacement)
SHM displacement-time graph: (cos t)
SHM velocity-time graph: (-sin t)
SHM acceleration-time graph: (-cos t)
How do we calculate angular speed? (aka angular frequency) ω = 2πf OR ω = 2π/T
How do we calculate displacement of a body in SHM? x = Acosωt (A = amplitude)
How do we calculate velocity of a body in SHM? v = -ωAsinωt
How do we calculate acceleration of a body in SHM? a = -ω^2 x (as a = -ω^2 Acosωt)
x = Acosωt , v = -ωAsinωt and -ω^2 Acosωt only work for which values of t? -1 < t < 1 (as these are the ranges of sin and cos)
In SHM what is the maximum displacement equal to? Amplitude (A)
How would we calculate the max velocity? v(max) = ωA
How would we calculate the max acceleration? a(max) = ω^2 A
What is the gradient of an acceleration-displacement graph? -ω^2
SHM velocity-displacement graph:
What is the relationship between velocity and displacement? v = +/- ω(root(A^2 - x^2))
