RECALL: Angular & Angular n Think about spinning a ball on a string or a ball on a -table in terms of SHM and UCM: n If you look at the ball from the side, its could be plotted as a sine . n Δθ is the angle between 1 and 2. n Δθ is the amount of —measured in degrees or (we’ll use radians since they are the SI unit for θ).

θ r 1

For an object rotating about a fixed axis, the is the angle Δθ swept out by a line passing through any point on the body and intersecting the axis of rotation perpendicularly. By convention, the angular displacement is positive if it is counterclockwise. Angular Displacement, θ n For an object rotating, angular displacement is found by: n θ (in radians) = Arc length = s radius r n Δθ = θf – θi where θi is sometimes zero. If determining Δθ for a complete circle, or one complete cycle: n Arc length = 2πr (for one revolution) n Δθ = (arc length) / r n = (2πr) / r = 2π radians n ∴ 1 revolution = 2π radians = 360o n So, 1 = 360o / 2π = 57.3o Once around the circular path is 360-degrees or 2π-radians! n Angular Velocity = the “turning ”—expressed in units of revolutions per , or metric: radians per second. n Angular velocity = angular displacement / elapsed n ω = Δθ/Δt units: radians/second or rad/s n For one cycle: Δt = T = period = time for one cycle n And, Δθ = (2πr)/r = 2π radians = angular displacement for one cycle n ∴ ω = Δθ/Δt = 2π radians / T = 2π / T n ω = 2π / T n And since T=1/f , where f = n ω = 2π / (1/f) = 2πf n ω = 2πf ∴ Angular velocity is sometimes called angular frequency! Important to realize… n Angular velocity, ω, or the “turning rate” is the same everywhere on the rotating body/object, b/c Δθ/Δt is the same. n But, instantaneous velocity, the velocity tangent to the circular path—called tangential velocity, vT– is greater for points (places) farther from the axis. n The magnitude of the tangential velocity is referred to as the tangential . n vT= r ω (new) SHM & the Reference Circle

n The ball mounted on the turntable moves in uniform on a path known as the reference circle, and its shadow, projected on a moving strip of film, executes . Determining displacement, x, for an object experiencing simple harmonic motion n Reference Circle of radius A n Ball starts on x-axis at x=+A and moves through an angle θ in a time t. n Since moving in UCM, angular speed ω is constant. n Recall: θ = ωt n The displacement x of the shadow is the x-component of the radius A: n Cosine θ = x/A, or n X = A cos θ = A cos (ωt) (And: ω = 2πf) n The shadow of the ball oscillates between values of x=+A and x=-A n The radius A of the reference circle is the amplitude of the SHM Determining velocity, v, for an object experiencing simple harmonic motion n vT= tangential velocity = r ω n The velocity v of the shadow is the x-component of the tangential velocity n Sine θ = -v/vT n Negative b/c v is pointing in the direction of the negative x-axis. n Recall, θ = ωt and vT=rω n And since r = A, vT= Aω n ∴the velocity of an object in SHM is given by: n v= -vT sin θ n v= -Aω sin θ = -A ω sin (ωt) n In general: (ω = 2πf) n v= +/- A ω sin θ n v= +/- A ω sin (ωt) n This velocity is not constant, but varies between maximum and minimum values as time passes. n When the shadow changes direction at either end of the oscillatory motion, the velocity is momentarily zero. n When the shadow passes through the x=0m position, the velocity has a maximum amount of v=Aω, since the sine of an angle is between +1 and -1. n vmax = A ω n (ω = 2πf) n Both amplitude and angular frequency determine the maximum velocity. n A person bounces up and down on a trampoline, while always staying in contact with it. n The motion is simple harmonic motion, and it takes 1.90 to complete one cycle. n The height of each bounce above the equilibrium position is 45.0 cm. n Determine the amplitude, and n determine the angular frequency of the motion. n What is the maximum speed attained by the person? The solution… n The amplitude of simple harmonic motion is the distance from the equilibrium position to the point of maximum height. n Since the distance from the equilibrium position to the point of maximum height is the amplitude of the motion… n A = 45.0 cm = 0.45 m n The angular frequency is found with ω = 2π / T n ω = 2π / T = 2π / 1.90 seconds n ω = 3.31 rad/second n The maximum speed attained by the person on the trampoline depends on the amplitude and the angular frequency of the motion: n vmax = A ω = (0.45m)(3.31 rad/s) = 1.49 m/s= vmax In SHM, the velocity is not constant, ∴the object experiencing SHM is accelerating… n An object moving in a circle experiences UCM; 2 n ∴ ac = v /r n So, for an object experiencing SHM: n (tangential) Speed = v = Δd/Δt = 2 π r/T= 2 π r·f n v=2 π f·r = (2 π f)r = ω⋅r = r⋅ω n ∴v = r⋅ω (where v is the tangential speed) n Putting it all together… 2 2 2 2 n ac = v /r = (r⋅ω) /r =r⋅ω = A⋅ω (since r = A for SHM) 2 n ac = A⋅ω Like velocity, is not constant as time passes. n a is the x-component of ac n Cosine θ = -a/ac n Negative b/c pointing in “–x direction” n a = -ac cos θ 2 n And ac = Aω n a = -Aω2 cos θ n And θ = ωt n a = -Aω2 cos (ωt) n In general: n a = +/-Aω2 cos (ωt) n And (ω = 2πf) 2 n amax = Aω Slide 14-22 n Check this out! n www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/feschools// shm.php Frequency of n For an object on a moving back and forth, ignoring , where the only acting on the spring causing it to vibrate is the restoring force of the spring: n ΣF = Frestoring = -kx = ma n -kx = ma n -k [A cos (ωt)]= m[-Aω2 cos (ωt)] n -k [A]= m[-Aω2] n k = mω2 n ω2 = k/m n ω = √(k/m) n Recall ω=2πf n ω = 2πf = √(k/m) n for a spring w/ m on it n where ω is in radians/second The frequency of depends on physical properties of the oscillator; it does not depend on the amplitude of the oscillation. nω = 2πf = √(k/m) n for a spring w/mass m on it n where ω is in radians/second

Slide 14-14 n The diaphragm of a loudspeaker moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion to create sound. The frequency of the motion is 1.0 kHz and the amplitude is 0.20 mm. n A) What is the maximum speed of the diaphragm? n B) Where in the motion does this maximum speed occur? n C) What is the maximum acceleration of the diaphragm? n D) Where in the motion does this maximum acceleration occur? Solution: nω = 2πf nv max = A ω nv max=(0.0002m)2π (1000Hz) n A) vmax = 1.3 m/s n B) The speed of the diaphragm is momentarily zero at the two ends of its motion, x = +A and x = -A… its maximum speed occurs midway between these two points, or at x=0m. 2 2 2 n C) amax = Aω = (0.0002m)[2π (1000Hz)] =amax = 7900 m/s n D) The maximum acceleration occurs when the force acting on the diaphragm is a maximum. The maximum force acts when the diaphragm is at the ends of the path, where the displacement is the greatest… ∴the maximum acceleration is at x=+A and x=-A.
