Resumo de Recurso

Questão Responda
Define simple harmonic motion osscilation in which acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement from the midpoint, directed to the midpoint
How does energy change through simple harmonic motion? max gpe converts to ke max ke converts to gpe to mak gpe and repeats some enrgy lost to surroundings
What is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy called? The mechanical energy which stays constant
What does the graph of displacement against T look like ?
What does the graph of velocity against T look like?
What does the graph of acceleration against T look like?
What do frequency and period not depend on? Amplitude
What is a free vibration and what does it mean? No transfer of energy to and from the surroundings If you pulled a sping it would keep on oscillating with the same amplitude forever
What is a spring vibrating in the air called? A free Vibration
When do forced vibrations happen ? When theres an external force
What is the frequency of a forced virbration called? The driving frequency
When does resonance happen? When the driving frequecy= the natural frequency
What happens when a system is resonating? The system gains more energy from the driving force and vibrates with a rapidly increasing amplitude
When does damping happen? When energy is lost to the surroundings
Why are some systems deliberatley damped? to stop them osscilating or to minimise the effect of resonance
What are the four types of damping? Light damping,heavy damping,critical damping and overdamping
What does damping reduce? The amplitude of the oscilation over time
The heavier damping the... quiker the amplitude is reduced to zero
Which type of amplitude reduces the amplitude in the shortest possible time? Critical damping
When a system is overdamped what happens? It takes longer to return to equilibrium
What does damping also effect? resonance
Lightly damped systems have a ... very sharp resonance peak
Heavily damped systems... Have a latter resonance peak
