What is angular velocity in a circular path described as. Also what is its's equation
The rate of change of angle. ω=θ/t (this t is for time)
1 of 27
State the equation of ω when time is equal to one period
ω=2π/T
2 of 27
State the relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity
V=rω
3 of 27
What is centipetral acceleration
The acceleration of any object travelling In a circular path at constant speed
4 of 27
State the equation of acceleration in simple harmonic motion
a=-ω squared multiplied by x (the distance)
5 of 27
In simple harmonic motion is the period of the swing independent to the amplitude
Yes
6 of 27
What is free oscillations in simple harmonic motion
When there's no driving mechanism and the object continues to move after it has been set to oscillate
7 of 27
What is forced oscillations in simple harmonic motion
When the object is cause to vibrate by a periodic driving force
8 of 27
What is simple harmonic motion
Motion where an object has an acceleration that's directly proportional and in the opposite direction to displacement

T=2π multiplied by square root of mass/ spring constant
11 of 27
Does the mass of the bob affect time period
No
12 of 27
Does length of the string affect time period
Yes
13 of 27
The two Equations for displacement
x=Acosωt (t for time ) x=Asinωt
14 of 27
When do you use the equation x=Acosωt
When th oscillation begins from amplitude
15 of 27
On a spring mass system what potential energies act
Gravitational potential and elastic potential
16 of 27
What is damping
When an external force that acts on the oscillator has the effect of reducing the amplitude of the oscillations
17 of 27
Name the three types of damping
Light damping , heavy damping , critical damping(very heavy damping)
18 of 27
What is light damping
When small damping forces are applied and the amplitude of the oscillator gradually decreases with time without affecting the period
19 of 27
What is heavy damping
When larger damping forces causes the amplitude to decrease significantly and the period of oscillations also increases slightly
20 of 27
Give an example of light damping
Pendulum oscillating in air
21 of 27
Give an example of heavy damping
Pendulum oscillating in water
22 of 27
Give an example of critical damping(very heavy damping)
Pendulum moving through oil
23 of 27
What is the frequency of a free oscillation called
Natural frequency
24 of 27
What is the frequency of a forced oscillation called
Driving frequency
25 of 27
What happens if the driving frequency and the natural frequency of an oscillating object is equal
It will resonate
26 of 27
What happens if you don't damp a system that's resonating
The amplitude will increase causing the system to break
