Topics in Oscillations

1

Periodic and Oscillatory Motion

  • Periodic motion repeats itself after fixed intervals of time called period (T)
  • Oscillatory motion is to-and-fro motion about a mean position
  • All oscillatory motions are periodic, but not all periodic motions are oscillatory
2

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

  • SHM: displacement varies sinusoidally with time as x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ)
  • Amplitude (A): maximum displacement from mean position
  • Angular frequency (ω): related to period by ω = 2π/T
3

SHM and Uniform Circular Motion

  • SHM is projection of uniform circular motion on any diameter
  • Reference particle moves in circle with radius A and angular speed ω
  • x-projection: x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ)
4

Velocity and Acceleration in SHM

  • Velocity: v(t) = -ωA sin(ωt + φ)
  • Acceleration: a(t) = -ω²A cos(ωt + φ) = -ω²x(t)
  • Maximum velocity: vₘₐₓ = ωA (at mean position)
