This document provides examples of oscillatory motion. It examines the motion of a block on a horizontal spring and vertical spring. It discusses simple harmonic motion and forces that produce SHM. Examples show the motion of an object with different initial conditions on a spring. It also provides a conceptual example of how doubling the amplitude affects the energy, maximum velocity, and maximum acceleration of an oscillating object. The final section lists the material students should study for the midterm exam, including specific objective questions, conceptual questions, and problems from the chapters.

Chapter 15
Oscillatory Motion
EXAMPLES
Chapter 15 Oscillatory Motion: EXAMPLES
Example 15-1: Motion of the Block (Horizontal)
The block continues to oscillate between A and +A These are turning points of the motion The force F is conservative In the absence of friction, the motion will continue forever Real systems are generally subject to friction, so they do not actually oscillate forever
Example 15-1: Motion of the Block (Vertical)
When the block is hung from a vertical spring, its weight will cause the spring to stretch Figure (a): Free spring, hang vertically Figure (b): Mass m attached to spring in new equilibrium position, which occurs when:
F = mg kxo xo = mg/k If the resting position of the spring is defined as x = 0, the same analysis as was done with the horizontal spring will apply to the vertical spring-mass system
Example 15-2: Conceptual Example
(SHM Forces) Which of the following represent an object undergoing SHM 2 (a). F = 0.5x (b). F = 2.3y (c). F = 8.6x (d). F = 4 Answer: (b). F = 2.3y & (d). F = 4
Force has minus sign required to restore the system to equilibrium.
Force is proportional to a displacement (which need not to be x).
15-3: SHM Example 1
Initial conditions at t = 0 :
x (0)= A v (0) = 0
This means f = 0 The velocity reaches extremes of : A The acceleration reaches extremes of: 2A
15-3: SHM Example 2
Initial conditions at t = 0 : x (0)=0 v (0) = vi This means f = - /2 The graph is shifted one-quarter cycle to the right compared to the graph of x (0) = A
Example 15-4: Conceptual Example (Doubling
Amplitude) Suppose the spring from figure is stretched twice as far (to x = 2A). What happened to: E, vmax, & amax? (a). E = kA2 (15.21) (b). vmax = A = (k/m)A (15.17) (c). amax = 2A = (k/m)A (15.18)
Answers: (a). E = k(2A)2 = 4( kA2) So stretching A twice as far, quadruples the energy (b). vmax = (2A) = 2A So stretching A twice as far, doubles the maximum velocity (c). amax = 2(2A) = 22A So stretching A twice as far, doubles the maximum acceleration
