Oscillatory Motion
Objects that undergo a repetitive motion back and forth around an equilibrium position are called oscillators.
The time to complete one full cycle, or one oscillation, is called the period T.
The number of cycles per second is called the frequency f, measured in Hz:
1 Hz = 1 cycle per second = 1 s1

A particular kind of oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion.
In figure (a) an air-track glider is attached to a spring.
Figure (b) shows the glider’s position measured 20 times every second.

Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
An object of mass m on a frictionless horizontal surface
is attached to one end of a spring of spring constant k.
The other end of the spring
is attached to a fixed wall.
As the object oscillates,
the energy is transformed between kinetic energy and potential energy, but the mechanical energy E K U doesn’t change.

The top set of dots is a motion diagram for SHM going to the right.
The bottom set of dots is a motion diagram for SHM going to the left.
At x 0, the object’s speed is as large as possible, but it is not changing; hence acceleration is zero at x 0.

influence of gravity can be modeled as a physical pendulum.
The gravitational torque for
small angles ( 10) is:

Damped Oscillations
An oscillation that runs down
and stops is called a damped oscillation.
One possible reason for dissipation of energy is
the drag force due to air resistance.
The forces involved in dissipation are complex, but a simple linear drag model is:
The shock absorbers in cars and trucks are heavily damped springs. The vehicle’s vertical motion, after hitting a rock or a pothole, is a damped oscillation.

Damped Oscillations
When a mass on a spring experiences the force of the spring as given
by Hooke’s Law, as well as
a linear drag force of
magnitude |D| bv, the
solution is:
where the angular frequency is given by:
Here is the angular frequency of the undamped oscillator (b 0).

Mechanical vibrations, electric circuits, and nuclear radioactivity all exhibit exponential decay.

Energy in Damped Systems
Because of the drag force, the mechanical energy of a damped system is no longer conserved.
At any particular time we can compute the mechanical energy from:
Where the decay constant of this function is called the time constant , defined as:
The oscillator’s mechanical energy decays exponentially with time constant .

Driven Oscillations and Resonance
Consider an oscillating system that, when left to itself, oscillates at a natural frequency f0.
Suppose that this system is subjected to a periodic external force of driving frequency fext.
The amplitude of oscillations is generally not very high if fext differs much from f0.
As fext gets closer and closer to f0, the amplitude of the oscillation rises dramatically.
A singer or musical instrument can shatter a crystal goblet by matching the goblet’s natural oscillation frequency.
