 Simple Harmonic Motion:
1. Is a periodic motion that repeats at
constant frequency.
2. Has a restoring force that acts to restore
the oscillator to equilibrium.
F=-kx Hooke’s Law
x: displacement from equilibrium
Characteristic Quantities of Simple
Harmonic Motion

• Displacement: distance from equilibrium.

• Amplitude: maximum displacement

 Characteristic Quantities of
Simple Harmonic Motion
• Frequency: oscillations per unit time
– Unit: 1/sec =Hertz

• Period: time to complete one oscillation

– Unit: sec

f=1/T T=1/f
 Simple Harmonic Motion
• Velocity:
– maximum as it passes through equilibrium
– zero as it passes through the extreme positions
in its oscillation.
• Acceleration: a=F/m = -kx/m
-maximum at extreme points
-zero at equilibrium

Period of A Spring Mass Oscillator
____
• T=2p√m/k

• m mass
• k spring constant
 Problem
• Calculate the period of a mass of 5kg on a
spring that has a spring constant of
20N/m.

• Answer: 3s
 Question
• If you had a spring-mass system on the
moon, would the period be the same or
different than that of this system on the
earth?

g=10m/s2
L=length of string
 Problem
• Calculate the Period of a pendulum of
length 0.75 m.

Answer: 1.7s
 Question
• If you had a pendulum on the moon would
its period be the same or different
compared to the same pendulum on the
earth?
 Questions
• Does the period of a pendulum depend on
the mass of the bob?

• If you increase the length of the pendulum

string, what happens to the period?
