100
Motion with a restoring force to bring something back through equilibrium. It occurs over and over in regular time intervals.
What is simple harmonic motion?
100
Waves meet up and subtract
What is destructive interference?
100
Length, gravity, NOT the mass
What factors affect the simple harmonic motion of a pendulum?
100
The equation for wavelength of a wave
Lambda = velocity/frequency
100
Waves meet up and add up.
What is constructive interference?
200
Any wave requiring a media for travel
What is a mechanical wave?
200
Five ________________ are depicted.
What are nodes?
200
Mass and the spring constant
What factors affect simple harmonic motion of a mass-spring system?
200
The ________________ of sound is fastest in solids and slowest in gases.
What is the speed?
200
A metronome
What is an example of Simple Harmonic Motion?
300
The greatest speed is here (A, B, or C)
What is point B?
300
Waves are transmissions of energy, and that travels differently in different materials
What is the speed of sound (or waves) through different media?
300
The period of a spring is affected how when the mass is halved.
What is the square of 1/2?
300
At ________________ boundaries, waves are inverted.
What is fixed?
300
A 53 N spring stretches 0.25 m, what is the spring constant?
What is 212 N/m?
400
All waves are mechanical except __________________ waves.
What are electromagnetic waves?
400
Waves per second
What is the frequency?
400
Particle motion is parallel to wave motion, like with a slinky.
What is a longitudinal wave?
400
Particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion, like with a string.
What are transverse waves?
400
Height of a wave measured from equilibrium
What is the amplitude?
500
The negative sign in F=-kx only means that the restoring force is in the ________________ direction of displacement
What is the opposite?
500
Because _______________ never changes from medium to medium, speed and wavelength change to compensate
What is the frequency?
500
The greatest acceleration (A, B, or C)
What is A or C?
Remember: restoring force is greatest the furthest away from equilibrium. This means when F is largest, F=ma is the largest. Mass doesn't change, so big F means big A.
500
A perceived shift in frequency
What is the Doppler Effect?
500
A mass is attached to a vertically hanging spring and at rest and hangs 12 cm below its un-stretched position. What two equations can you use to find spring constant?
What are Newton's 2nd Law (F=ma) and the force of a spring (F=-kx)
Remember: set forces equal and then you have ma=kx
