Oscillations

Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion

If an oscillation can be expressed in terms of sine or cosine function, then it is called harmonic oscillation. In such oscillations, a slight displacement of the body from its mean position sets it to oscillate, to and fro, about the mean position in such a manner that the force acting on varies directly with […]

ENERGIES IN SHM

During simple harmonic motion, energy is constantly exchanged between two forms: kinetic and potential. The potential energy could be in the form of: Gravitational potential energy (for a pendulum) Elastic potential energy (for a horizontal mass on a spring) Or both (for a vertical mass on a spring) Speed v is at a maximum when displacement x =

Earthquake

The Earthquake is one of the most deadly and catastrophic natural disasters that can occur. Every year, earthquakes cause massive property and life loss all across the world. As a result, emerging countries implement appropriate measures and raise awareness about earthquake catastrophe management, which is a pressing need.Precautions can be taken to protect people’s lives

Damped Oscillations

Oscillator: An oscillator is a semiconductor device that produces oscillations similar to sinusoidal waves. Oscillation: It is a repetitive and periodic change of quantity with respect to time. It is measured with respect to some reference or central value. Mechanical oscillation is called vibration. Real examples of oscillation are AC (alternating current), pendulum, and heartbeat.

Application of Elastic Behavior of Solids

You will see how a stretched rubber band returns to its natural shape after you lose it. Consider bending an aluminium rod with just your hands or arm strength. Is it possible to bring the rubber back to its natural position? When it comes to solids, some people may struggle to understand the idea of

An Idea On Beat Frequency

To understand beat frequency, consider two frequencies of 440 Hz and 441 Hz. While playing both of the frequencies simultaneously, both the frequencies interfere with each other and cause beat frequency. Beat frequency can be defined as the absolute value of the difference between two frequencies. In the above-given example, the difference between both frequencies

All about Damped, Free, and Forced Oscillations

Oscillation is a repetitive and periodic change with respect to time. It is measured with respect to some reference or central value. Mechanical oscillation is called vibration. Real examples of oscillation are AC (alternating current), pendulum, and heartbeat. Oscillations can create waves. Some waves are visible, some are not. The unit used for the number

A Quick Note on How to Analyse a Spring Force Vs. Displacement Graph

The horizontal axis of a spring force-displacement graph will contain displacement (in m) and force (in N) on it. The graph’s area is equal to Fs. The amount of time spent working on the item is reflected in this value. With the use of a spring force-displacement graph, we can Read forces directly from the

Periodic functions

A function that repeats itself after a fixed period ( regular intervals) is called a periodic function. They behave cyclically over a specific time interval. The most straightforward example is trigonometric functions that repeat after the completion of 2π radians; they are periodic functions. This concept of periodic functions is used in physics while studying
