Simple harmonic motion
Have you ever watched a slinky gyrate back and forth? This is an example of harmonic motion, a special class of oscillatory motion. In this unit, we'll see how we can model and deal with this type of phenomena.
This course contains 4 segments:
Introduction to simple harmonic motion
In this lesson, we'll develop some intuition for what a simple harmonic oscillator is, why they oscillate, and how to analyze and model the motion of spring-mass systems and simple pendulums.
Simple harmonic motion in spring-mass systems
In this lesson, we'll learn more about how simple harmonic motion describes the motion of a mass on a spring.
Simple pendulums
In this lesson, we'll learn more about how simple harmonic motion describes the motion of a simple pendulum.
Energy in simple harmonic oscillators
In this lesson, we'll learn about how the total energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy of a simple harmonic oscillator change over time.
