Simple harmonic oscillator
|
Any physical system governed by a restoring force, described by a quadratic potential well, and which is executed periodic motion.
|
|
|
Simple harmonic motion
|
F=-kx - motion that results when an object to a restoring force. X is the object's displacement from its equilibrium position - the position where it experiences no net force.

Simple harmonic motion & F=ma
|
ma=-kx

|
Angular frequency
|
Omega (w) = SQRT(k/m)
|
|
|
frequency, f
|
Number of oscillation cycles the object undergoes each second
|
|
|
period, T
|
the amount of time it takes the object to undergo one complete oscillation cycle
|
|
|
Relate frequency and period
|
f = omega (w)/2pi = 1/T
