Simple Harmonic Motion Mass on a spring Mass gravity = length spring constant (N/m) if mass increases, so will length

gth Angular Velocity (w, rad/s) = (k/m) Angular Velocity = 2 How fast something oscillates depends on mass and stiffness (k), NOT on amplitude Energy (total remains constant) Espring = Greatest at ends of spring, Kinetic Energy greatest in middle of spring motion E = kx2 + mv2 + mgh (Kinetic Energy) + (Potential Energy) = both equal zero when crossing axis KE = 1/2mv2 =1/2mA2w2 Amplitude is maximum PE, spring moves fastest when crossing over axis (equilibrium) Distance above release point = 2A T = 2(m/k) = 2(y/g) F = -kx X(t) = Acos(wt+phase constant) wave repeats when (k/m) = 2 T2=(42m)/k Maximum PE = total E = 1/2(KA2) V = ((k/m)(A2-x2)) Vmax = Amplitude frequency or 2 Amax = 2f2A Pendulum Motion Frestoring = mg mgsin and mgcos for pendulum vectors Trestoring = mgL T = (l/g)2 I = mL2 w = (k/Inertia) T = 2(l/g) length is the only variable that has an effect on period

Waves Longitudinal disturbance travels parallel to the propagation direction Transverse disturbance is perpendicular to the propagation direction Traveling Waves Asin(kx wt) - kw = 2 W = 2/T K = 2/wavelength w = 2/T v = w/k Standing Waves = 2L/n where n = number of nodes Longitudinal Standing Wave Closed End (node) --- open end (antinode) = 4L/(2n-1) If both nodes are fixed = 2L/n Within a pipe with 2 open ends (antinodes) = 2L / n+1 Electricity Fields convey information about force Describe space around charge Store energy 1 electron = -1.610-19 coulombs K = 8.99109 Nm2/C2 F = (kq1q2)/r2 Field Lines 1. Radiate from positive charge, terminate from negative charge 2. Describe stronger field when spaced closely 3.
