Page 21: Harmonic Motion and Waves. Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) Vibration (oscillation) Equilibrium position – position of the natural length of a spring Amplitude

The maximum velocity occurs through the origin:

½ kA2 = ½ mv2+ ½ kx2

½ kA2 = ½ mv2 (x=0 at the origin)kA2 = mv2

v2 = kA2/m

v = \/kA2/m = \/(19.6 N/m)(0.100m)2/0.300kg

v = 0.808 m/s

Page 22: Harmonic Motion and Waves. Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) Vibration (oscillation) Equilibrium position – position of the natural length of a spring Amplitude

½ kA2 = ½ mv2+ ½ kx2

kA2 = mv2+ kx2

mv2 = kA2 - kx2

v2 = kA2 - kx2

mv2 = 19.6 N/m(0.100m2 – 0.0500m2) = 0.49 m2/s2
