Module 5 - 5.3.1 Simple Harmonic Oscillations Flashcards
1
Q
Displacement (definition)
A
The distance an object moves from its equilibrium position
2
Q
Angular Velocity (definition)
A
The angle moved per unit time
3
Q
Phase Difference (definition)
A
The fraction of a complete cycle or oscillation between two oscillating points
4
Q
Maximum Velocity =
A
± angular velocity x amplitude (±ωA)
5
Q
Simple Harmonic Motion (definition) (3)
A
- A body will oscillate with simple harmonic motion if its acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement from a fixed point and always directed towards that fixed point
- a ∝ -x
- negative sign shows the acceleration is always in the opposite direction to the displacement
6
Q
Simple Harmonic Motion = — constant
Harmonic Motion = — constant
A
- amplitude
- time period
