( a ) For a simple harmonic oscillator, the period is proportional to the square of the amplitude. ( b ) For a simple harmonic oscillator, the frequency does not depend on the amplitude. ( c ) If the net force on a particle undergoing one-dimensional motion is proportional to, and oppositely directed from, the displacement from equilibrium, the motion is simple harmonic.

( a ) False. In simple harmonic motion, the period is independent of the amplitude.

( b ) True. In simple harmonic motion, the frequency is the reciprocal of the period which, in turn, is independent of the amplitude.

( c ) True. This is the condition for simple harmonic motion

2 • If the amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator is tripled, by what factor is the energy changed?

Determine the Concept The energy of a simple harmonic oscillator varies as the square of the amplitude of its motion. Hence, tripling the amplitude increases the energy by a factor of 9.

3 •• [SSM] An object attached to a spring exhibits simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0 cm. When the object is 2.0 cm from the equilibrium position, what percentage of its total mechanical energy is in the form of potential energy? ( a ) One-quarter. ( b ) One-third. ( c ) One-half. ( d ) Two-thirds. ( e ) Three-quarters.

Picture the Problem The total energy of an object undergoing simple harmonic motion is given by E (^) tot = 21 kA^2 , where k is the force constant and A is the amplitude of the motion. The potential energy of the oscillator when it is a distance x from its equilibrium position is U ( x ) = 21 kx^2.

( d ) The distance can’t be determined from the data given.

Determine the Concept Because the object’s total energy is the sum of its kinetic

and potential energies, when its potential energy equals its kinetic energy, its potential energy (and its kinetic energy) equals one-half its total energy.

5 • Two identical systems each consist of a spring with one end attached to a block and the other end attached to a wall. The springs are horizontal, and the blocks are supported from below by a frictionless horizontal table.

9 •• [SSM] In general physics courses, the mass of the spring in simple harmonic motion is usually neglected because its mass is usually much smaller than the mass of the object attached to it. However, this is not always the case. If you neglect the mass of the spring when it is not negligible, how will your calculation of the system’s period, frequency and total energy compare to the actual values of these parameters? Explain.

Determine the Concept Neglecting the mass of the spring, the period of a simple

harmonic oscillator is given by T = 2 π ω= 2 π mk where m is the mass of the

Estimation and Approximation

25 • [SSM] Estimate the width of a typical grandfather clocks’ cabinet relative to the width of the pendulum bob, presuming the desired motion of the pendulum is simple harmonic.

Picture the Problem If the motion of

the pendulum in a grandfather clock is to be simple harmonic motion, then its

period must be independent of the angular amplitude of its oscillations.

The period of the motion for large-

amplitude oscillations is given by Equation 14-30 and we can use this

expression to obtain a maximum value for the amplitude of swinging

pendulum in the clock. We can then use this value and an assumed value for the

length of the pendulum to estimate the width of the grandfather clocks’

cabinet.

the minimum width of the cabinet is determined by the width of the bob

29 • The position of a particle is given by x = (7.0 cm) cos 6 π t , where t is

in seconds. What are ( a ) the frequency, ( b ) the period, and ( c ) the amplitude of the particle’s motion? ( d ) What is the first time after t = 0 that the particle is at its equilibrium position? In what direction is it moving at that time?

Picture the Problem The position of the particle is given by x = A cos(ω + t δ)

where A is the amplitude of the motion, ω is the angular frequency, and δ is a

phase constant. The frequency of the motion is given by f = ω 2 πand the period

of the motion is the reciprocal of its frequency.

( a ) Use the definition of ω to

determine f :

( c ) Compare x = (7.0 cm) cos 6 π t to

x = A cos ( ω t +δ)to conclude that:

A = 7. 0 cm

( d ) Express the condition that must

be satisfied when the particle is at its equilibrium position:

cos ω t = 0 ⇒

Evaluate v (0.0833 s):

v ( 0. 0833 s) =−( 42 πcm/s) sin 6 π( 0. 0833 s) < 0

Because v < 0, the particle is moving in the − x direction at t = 0.0833 s.

30 • What is the phase constant δ in x = A cos( ω + t δ)(Equation 14-4) if the

position of the oscillating particle at time t = 0 is ( a ) 0, ( b ) – A , ( c ) A , ( d ) A /2?

Picture the Problem The initial position of the oscillating particle is related to

the amplitude and phase constant of the motion by x 0 = A cos δ where 0 ≤ δ < 2 π.

( b ) For x 0 = − A : − A = A cos δ⇒ δ = cos −^1 ( − 1 )= π
