Head go around in (uniform) circles
This type of value/measurement changes constantly in uniform circular motion
What is a vector (meant to include velocity and direction as well as acceleration)?
The principle declaring that the spring force is directly proportional to displacement from equilibrium
What is Hooke's Law?
At amplitude, force is at ____.
What is a maximum?
The graph of SHM position over time should look like this function
What is sine/cosine graph?
The representation of amplitude when graphing a shadow of a particle in uniform circular motion.
What is the radius of the circle?
A simple pendulum oscillates with a period T. If the bob is replaced by one with a mass half the original, the period of oscillation is this.
What is T?
The new period when a spring is cut in half (the old period is considered T).
What is T/rad2?
At this point, the velocity is zero.
What is amplitude?
The point in simple harmonic motion when the particle is experiencing no force
What is the center of the path or when displacement is 0?
The amount of time it takes for an object to complete a single revolution (in terms of angular velocity)
What is 2π/ω?
If a pendulum's period was to be examined as the pendulum moves through the Earth, the frequency would appear to be ___. (think larger, smaller or the same)
What is larger?
Two masses of equal value are hanging from independent springs with different spring constants, causing oscillation. The spring system with a smaller spring constant will have this period of oscillation in comparison to the other system.
What is a longer period of oscillation?
Amplitude is negligible for this measurement in SHM.
What is period or frequency?
The type of motion that is a bouncing balls
What is not simple harmonic motion but still oscillation?
Horizontal displacement equation for a pendulum in circular motion (in terms of theta)
What is x=Acos(theta)?
The factor by which a pendulum's frequency is multiplied by if a pendulum is in an elevator accelerating upward at 3g.
What is 2?
Springs hung in parallel with spring constant k have an effective spring constant of this.
What is 2k?
Acceleration of a spring in SHM at amplitude expressed in terms of amplitude, spring constant, mass, and/or angular velocity.
What is Aω2?
For an oscillator, the time when displacement and acceleration vectors are pointing in the same direction.
What is never?
A mass is experiencing uniform circular motion, while another mass is experiencing SHM with a spring. The angular velocity is halved for the first mass. This is the factor by which the spring mass should be adjusted to match the slower angular velocity.
What is 4?
A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time. Suppose such a clock is calibrated correctly and then the temperature of the room in which it resides increases. The clock runs ___. (think thermal expansion and whether the clock is late, early or on time)
What is late?
The force constant of a horizontal spring when a block of mass M is oscillating. Express in terms of max velocity, M and amplitude.
What is (Mv2)/A2?
There are two identical springs with identical masses. Spring A in SHM oscillates with a greater amplitude than Spring B (also in SHM). This spring returns to equilibrium faster.
What is neither?
If Hooke's Law is being followed, this is the displacement from equilibrium if kinetic and potential energy are equal (in terms of amplitude)
What is A/rad2?
