What is the difference between Kinetic and Potential Energy in SHM?
Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion, maximum at equilibrium. Potential Energy: Stored energy, maximum at max displacement.
Compare the period of a mass-spring system and a pendulum.
Mass-Spring: Period depends on mass and spring constant. Pendulum: Period depends on length and gravity, independent of mass.
How to calculate the period (T) of a mass-spring system?
Use the formula: where m is mass and k is the spring constant.
How does energy transform in SHM?
Energy constantly shifts between kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U), while the total energy remains constant (assuming no friction).
How to calculate the total energy of a SHO?
The total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy: .
How to calculate the period (T) of a mass-spring system?
Use the formula: (T = 2pisqrt{frac{m}{k}}), where m is mass and k is the spring constant.
How does energy transform in SHM?
Energy constantly shifts between kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U), while the total energy remains constant.
How to calculate the total energy of a SHO?
The total energy is the sum of kinetic (K) and potential (U) energy: (E_{total} = K + U).
