Graph It Up
What is the independent variable?
In order for something to be periodic, it must do this in a predictable way.
What is repeat itself?
This is the relationship between bob mass and period.
What is constant?
This is the distance from equilibrium to crest or trough.
What is amplitude?
Resonance involves ___________ at an object's _______________. (Fill in the blanks)
What is adding energy, natural frequency?
This variable is graphed on the Y axis.
What is the dependent variable?
This is the time needed for something to repeat itself.
What is the period?
This is the relationship between amplitude and frequency.
What is constant?
This is the distance between successive wave crests.
What is wavelength?
This is the result if resonance is achieved.
What is an increase in amplitude in each oscillation?
This variable is sometimes call the "responding" variable.
What is the dependent variable?
These are the two requirements for something to be simple harmonic motion (SHM).
What are equilibrium and oscillation?
This is the relationship between length of pendulum and frequency.
What is negative/inverse?
This is the SI unit for the time it takes for wave motion to repeat itself.
What is seconds?
One of these is an example of resonance.
A. The collapse of the Tacoma Bridge.
B. The shaking of the London Centennial Bridge.
What is B. the shaking of the London Centennial Bridge?
The independent variable is graphed on this axis.
What is the X-axis?
A plucked guitar string is both periodic and simple harmonic motion. True or false?
True.
In an equation, frequency (f) is equal to this.
What is f = 1/T?
All waves of the same type (i.e. sound waves) traveling through the same medium also have the same this.
What is wave speed?
When a sound wave encounters an object or boundary with a different density, this happens.
What is the sound wave bounces of, reflects, or echo's?
This is the format for a graph title.
What is DV vs. IV or Y-axis vs. X-axis?
Earth orbiting the sun is both periodic and simple harmonic motion. True or false?
False.
A tuning fork vibrates at a rate of 1.00 x 102 Hz. This is the period. (Your answer must have the correct number of decimal places and units.)
What is 0.01 seconds?
If the wavelength triples (3x greater), this will happen to the frequency (assuming the wave speed stays the same).
What is 3x less or 1/3 its original value?
When playing any musical instrument, changing this will change the pitch produced by the instrument.
What is the length of the string, tube, pipe, etc.?
