Periodic motion

What are the terms used in oscillation:
a = Fx/m
a = acceleration
Fx=force exerted on a body in x direction
m=mass

relationship between frequency and period:
frequency (f) = number of cycles in one second
expressied as 1/T
T is period
therefore T = 1/f

angular frequency and velocity:
f = 1/T T=1/f
ω = 2πf = 2π/T
V = fλ (unit: m/s)


simple harmonic motion:
F=−kx, with k being the spring constant and x the displacement from the equilibrium position.

Equation for SHM - Displacement
x = Acos𝜽
x = Acosωt


Equation for SHM – velocity
𝒗𝒙 = −𝒗𝑸 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝝎𝒕 = −𝝎𝑨𝒔𝒊𝒏𝝎𝒕


Equation for SHM - Acceleration
𝑎𝑥 = −𝑎𝑄 cos𝜃
𝑎𝑥 = −𝜔2𝐴



Angular frequency (ω) for SHM
a = -(k/m)x
a = -ω²x

ω2 = k/m 

ω =( k/m )^(1/2)


Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration with phase angle:
𝒙 = 𝑨 cos⁡(𝝎𝒕 + 𝝋)
A = amplitude
t = angular fequency
𝝋 = phase angle

Phase angle values and x
𝒙𝒐 = 𝑨 cos⁡𝝋

To find amplitude and phase angle
𝒗𝒐 = − 𝝎𝑨 sin⁡𝝋

𝑬 =𝟏/𝟐 𝒎𝒗𝟐 +𝟏/𝟐 𝒌𝒙𝟐 =𝟏/𝟐 𝒌𝑨^𝟐 =𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕
𝒗 = ±(𝒌/𝒎)^(𝟏/𝟐) (𝑨^𝟐−𝒙^𝟐)^(𝟏/𝟐)
