Simple Harmonic Motion Ethan Albers Case Western Reserve University‚ Department of Physics Cleveland‚ OH 44106 Abstract: In this lab‚ my partner and I observed oscillations that were translational and rotational. The two forms we studied must have a form of a restoring force that is proportional to the displacement of the object from its point of equilibrium. This produces the harmonic motion which this lab wants. At small and big amplitudes we measured/observed the translational oscillation

Shanise Hawes 04/04/2012 Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Introduction: In this two part lab we sought out to demonstrate simple harmonic motion by observing the behavior of a spring. For the first part we needed to observe the motion or oscillation of a spring in order to find k‚ the spring constant; which is commonly described as how stiff the spring is. Using the equation Fs=-kx or‚ Fs=mg=kx; where Fs is the force of the spring‚ mg represents mass times gravity‚ and kx is the spring constant

The Introduction Abstract Through examining the simple harmonic motion of a mass hanging on a spring‚ three investigations were conducted in the experiment. The experiments include the relation between the period in oscillations and mass‚ and figuring out if the period vs. mass graph should go through the origin and lastly‚ finding the mass needed to create a one second timer. It was investigated by placing a motion detector under a spring that was attached to a clamp which was attached to a retort

Matthew Mannetta Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report Introduction Simple harmonic motion is the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke’s Law. In this lab‚ we will observe simple harmonic motion by studying masses on springs. In the first part of this lab‚ you will determine the period‚ T‚ of the spring by observing one sliding mass that is attached to two springs with the spring constant k‚ and attached to a hanging mass by a string

Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report In this lab‚ I will study the principles of simple harmonic motion using an oscillating pendulum. If I were to design an experiment that would help me study the properties of an oscillating pendulum and investigate what causes a pendulum to swing faster or slower‚ I would prepare several masses (e.g. 20g‚ 50g‚ 100g‚ 200g‚ etc.) that can be attached to a string‚ several strings of varying lengths from 0.1m to 1.0m that are strong enough to support the weight of the

[pic] Laboratory 1 Simple Pendulum Motion By Ryan Williams Foundation Degree Mechanical Engineering Introduction In Mechanics and Physics‚ simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a periodic motion that is neither driven on damped by external forces. An object in simple harmonic motion experiences a net force which relates to Hooke’s law. Hooke’s law states “Force is directly proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position and acts

Physics 1405 Name(s)_____________________ HOOKE’S LAW and SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION INTRODUCTION Any motion that repeats itself in equal intervals of time is called periodic motion. A special form of periodic motion is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). Simple Harmonic Motion is defined as oscillatory motion in which the resultant force on the oscillating body at any instant is directly proportional to its displacement from the rest position and opposite in direction to its motion

Simple Harmonic Motion By Panun Bali Aim: The aim of this experiment was to determine the spring constant “k” of a spring using Hooke’s Law and Simple Harmonic Motion. Theory: Part 1: We know from the theory that the Time Period “T” for any spring that undergoes simple harmonic motion: T = 2π * √ (m/k) Where “T” is the Time Period of the spring; “m” is the mass attached to the spring and “k” is the spring constant of the spring used. After mathematically manipulating the equation

Experiment 1.7: Graphical Analysis of Motion Introduction To graphically analyze motion‚ two graphs are commonly used: Displacement vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time. These two graphs provide significant information about motion including distance/displacement‚ speed/velocity‚ and acceleration. The displacement and acceleration of a moving body can be obtained from its Velocity vs. Time graph by respectively finding the area and the slope of the graph. Data Tables – Part I Displacement
