Vocabulary
Restoring Force: a force pushing towards equilibrium
Period: the time it takes to complete one cycle
Frequency: the amount of cycles completed per second
Amplitude: the maximum displacement from equilibrium
Angular Frequency: the angular velocity
Period: the time it takes to complete one cycle
Frequency: the amount of cycles completed per second
Amplitude: the maximum displacement from equilibrium
Angular Frequency: the angular velocity
Equations
T = 1/f = 2π / ω
T, the period, is related to the frequency (f) every second or 2π (one full rotation) over the angular speed
T = √(m/k)
the period is related to the spring constant (k), but mass is not directly related to the period.
T = √(l/g)
the period is directly related to the force of gravity. visually we can see that the torque arm is related to period, but mathematically the torque arm is not related to the period.
