SHM Hr Physics Chapter 11 Notes

Simple Harmonic Motion Objectives Identify the conditions of simple harmonic motion. n Explain how force, velocity, and acceleration change as an object vibrates with simple harmonic motion. n Calculate the spring force using Hooke’s law. n

Simple Harmonic Motion n Simple Harmonic Motion gives a regular repeating action. ¨ Any periodic motion that is the result of a restoring force that is proportional to displacement. n Springs, Masses, Pendula, and Bells, exhibit a periodic motion, therefore, SHM.

Hooke's Law n Hooke's Law says that the restoring force due to a spring is proportional to the length that the spring is stretched, and acts in the opposite direction. If we imagine that there are no other forces, and let x represent the distance the spring is stretched at time t then the restoring force might be represented as -kx where k is the spring constant and k > 0.

Wave Interactions Objectives Apply the superposition principle n Differentiate between constructive and destructive interference. n Predict when a reflected wave will be inverted. n Predict whether specific traveling waves will produce a standing wave. n Identify nodes and antinodes of a standing wave. n

Interference n n Constructive interference occurs when the waves displacements occur in the same direction so the superposition of the two waves results in the addition of the amplitudes. Destructive interference occurs when the waves displacements occur in opposite directions so the superposition of the two waves results in the addition of the two amplitudes.
