3. Periodic motion
• Periodic (harmonic) motion – self-repeating
motion
• Oscillation – periodic motion in certain direction
• Period (T) – a time duration of one oscillation
• Frequency (f) – the number of oscillations per unit
time, SI unit of frequency 1/s = Hz (Hertz)

4. Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion – motion that repeats itself
and the displacement is a sinusoidal function of time

5. Amplitude
• Amplitude – the magnitude of the maximum
displacement (in either direction)

10. Differential equation of SHM
A differential equation is simply an equation containing a
derivative. Since the motion is 1D, we can drop the vector
arrows and use sign to indicate direction.
The constants k and m and both positive, so the k/m is always
positive, always.For notational convenience, we write k/ m 2
.
(The square on the reminds us that 2
is always positive.) The
differential equation becomes
Fnet m a Fnet k x
2
a dv / dt d2
x / dt2
and m a k x
d x -kx/m
11. This is the differential equation for SHM. We seek a solution y= y(t)
to this equation, a function y = y(t) whose second time derivative is
the function y(t) multiplied by a negative constant (2
= k/m).
The way you solve differential equations is the same way you solve
integrals: you guess the solution and then check that the solution
works.
Based on observation, we guess a sinusoidal solution

25. Where the force is proportional to the speed of the moving object and
acts in the direction opposite the motion.
The retarding force can be expressed as:
R = - bv ( where b is a constant called damping coefficient)
and the restoring force of the system is – kx,

Damped simple harmonic motion
26. represent the position vs time for a
damped oscillation with decreasing
amplitude with time
The fig. shows the position as a function in time of the object oscillation in
the presence of a retarding force, the amplitude decreases in time, this
system is know as a damped oscillator. The dashed line which defined the
envelope of the oscillator curve, represent the exponential factor
27. as the value of "b" increase the amplitude of the oscillations
decreases more and more rapidly.
When b reaches a critical value bc ( ), the system does
not oscillate and is said to be critically damped.
And when the system is overdamped.

amplitude of the oscillator which is constant for a
given driving force.
For small damping the amplitude is large when the
frequency of the driving force is near the natural
