Periodic Motion:
Any motion, which repeats itself after regular interval of time is called periodic or harmonic motion
Example:
(i) Motion of the hands of a clock
(ii) Motion of the earth around the sun
(iii) Motion of the piston in a cylinder
(iv) Motion of the ball in a bowl
(v) Motion of the liquid in a U-tube.
Oscillatory/Vibratory Motion:
If in the case of periodic motion, the particle moves back and fourth (or to and fro) about at an equilibrium point. Then, the motion is said to be oscillatory.
Example:
(i) Motion of the balance wheel of a watch.
(ii) Motion of the needle of a serving machine.
(iii) Motion of the molecules in a solid around fixed littice sites.
(iv) Vibrations of the prongs of a tuning fork.
S.H.M:
If in the case of oscillatory motion a particle moves back and forth (or up and down) about a fixed point (called equilibrium position) via, a force or torque (called restoring force or torque), which is directly proportional to the displacement and opposite in direction to the displacement from equilibrium is called simple harmonic.
Example:
(i) Conical pendulum
(ii) Spring pendulum
(iii)Simple pendulum
(iv) Physical pendulum
(v) Torsional pendulum
Consider a reference particle, moving on a circle of reference of radius , with uniform angular velocity \omega . Let the particle start from the point X and trace an angle \theta \theta radian in time as it reaches the point P. Therefore, \displaystyle \omega =\theta /tor \theta =\omega t, Let the projection of the particle P on diameter \mathbf{YOY’} be at M. Then \mathbf{OM}=\mathbf{y}, is the displacement in S.H.M at time .
In \Delta OPM,\,\,\,\sin \theta =\frac{{OM}}{{OP}}=\frac{y}{a}
or y=a\sin \theta =a\sin \omega t …(i)
Important Notes:
(a) If projection of P is taken on diameter XOX’, then point N will be executing S.H.M. Here, ON=x=displacement in S.H.M at time
In \Delta ONP,\,\,\,\cos \theta =\frac{{ON}}{{OP}}=\frac{x}{a}
or x=a\cos \theta =a\cos \omega t …(ii)
(b) If A is the starting position of the particle of reference such that \angle AOX={{\varphi }_{o}} and \angle AOP=\omega t.
\theta =\angle XOP=\omega t-{{\varphi }_{o}}
From (i) , y=a\sin (\omega t-{{\varphi }_{o}})
(ii), x=a\cos (\omega t-{{\varphi }_{o}})
Here -{{\varphi }_{o}} is called the initial phase of epoch of S.H.M.
If B is the starting position of the particle of reference such that \angle BOX={{\varphi }_{o}} and \angle BOP=\omega t, then
\theta =\angle XOP=\omega t+{{\varphi }_{o}}
From (i), y=a\sin (\omega t+{{\varphi }_{o}})
(ii), x=a\cos (\omega t+{{\varphi }_{o}})
Here, +{{\varphi }_{o}} is called initial phase or epoch of SHM.
Parameters Of SHM
For a body executing SHM along x axis the equation of displacement is given by
x=a\sin (\omega t+\varphi )
The SHM can be defined in terms of following parameters or quantities.
(1)
Amplitude (a): It is defined as the maximum (positive or negative) value of displacement from equilibrium position. Since maximum and minimum values of sine function are +1 and –1, therefore it’s amplitude are + a and-a. Further, span of S.H.M is S=2a.
(2)
Time period (T): The smallest time interval after which the oscillation repeat itself is called its time period (T)\,,\,\,\,\,T=\frac{{2\pi }}{\omega }.
(3)
Frequency (f): The reciprocal of time period is defined as frequency, f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{\omega }{{2\pi }} whereis ω angular frequency.
(4)
Phase: The term (\omega t+\varphi ) is term defined as phase of the oscillation.
(5)
Phase constant (\varphi ):
The constant (\varphi ) in the equation of SHM is called epoch or initial phase.
Equation Of Velocity and Acceleration for a body in SHM
One very important distinctive feature of SHM is the relation between the displacement, velocity and acceleration of oscillatory particle.
x = asin ωt
v = \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = ωacos ωt = ωa sin (ωt + \frac{\pi }{2})
acceleration ac = \frac{{{{d}^{2}}x}}{{d{{t}^{2}}}}= – ω2a sin ωt = ω2a sin (ωt + p)
Notice that the maximum displacement is a, the maximum speed is ωa, and the maximum acceleration is ω2a.
The displacement, velocity and acceleration versus time graphs have been plotted in figure given below
The velocity function is π/2 ahead of the displacement function and the acceleration function is π/2 ahead of the velocity function.
Relation Between Velocity and Displacement
We know that
x = a sin ωt
hence \displaystyle \sin \omega t=\frac{x}{a} (1)
also v= \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = ωa cos ωt(2)
but \displaystyle \cos \omega t=\sqrt{{1-{{{\sin }}^{2}}\omega t}}=\sqrt{{1-\frac{{{{x}^{2}}}}{{{{a}^{2}}}}}} (Using equation (1)
On putting the above value of cos ωt in equation (2) we get the equation of velocity
\displaystyle v=\omega a\sqrt{{1-\frac{{{{x}^{2}}}}{{{{a}^{2}}}}}}
hence finally we get \displaystyle v=\omega \sqrt{{{{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}}.
To get the equation of acceleration just differentiate equation (2) with respect to time and substitute the value of sin ωt from equation (1) .
we know v = ωa cos ωt from equation no.(2)
on differentiating we get acceleration ac = \frac{{{{d}^{2}}x}}{{d{{t}^{2}}}}= – ω2a sin wt
hence \displaystyle {{a}_{c}}=-{{\omega }^{2}}a.\frac{x}{a}
and finally we get ac = – ω2x
Remember :
S. No | Physical Quantity | At Equilibrium Position | At Extreme Position |
1. | Displacement x =a\sin \,\omega t | Minimum =0 | Maximum=a |
2. | Velocity =\omega \sqrt{{{{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}} | Maximum=ωa | Minimum=0 |
3. | Acceleration |a|={{\omega }^{2}}x | Minimum=0 | Maximum ={{\omega }^{2}}a |
Illustration
A particle executes simple harmonic motion of amplitude a and time period T. What is time (t) taken by it to move from mean position to half of amplitude.
Solution
\displaystyle y=a\sin \omega t
\displaystyle \frac{a}{2}=a\sin \omega t
\displaystyle \Rightarrow \omega t=\frac{\pi }{6}
\displaystyle \frac{{2\pi }}{T}t=\frac{\pi }{6}
\displaystyle t=\frac{T}{{12}}
Note: If particle is going from extreme to mean position.
\displaystyle y=a\cos \omega t or \displaystyle \omega t=\frac{\pi }{3}
\displaystyle \frac{a}{2}=a\cos \omega t or \displaystyle t=T/6\sec
Illustration
A body of mass 1 kg is executing simple harmonic motion which is given by x = 6.0 cos (100 t + π/4)cm. What is the (i) amplitude of displacement, (ii) frequency, (iii) initial phase, (iv) velocity, (v) acceleration, (vi) maximum kinetic energy?
Solution
The given equation of SHM is x = 6.0 cos (100 t + π/4) cm.
Comparing it with the standard equation of SHM, x = a cos (wt + ∅), we have
(i) amplitude a = 6.0 cm
(ii) frequency w = 100/sec.
(iii) initial phase f =π/4
(iv) velocity \displaystyle v=\omega \sqrt{{({{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})}}=100\ \sqrt{{(36-{{x}^{2}})}}
(v) acceleration \displaystyle =-{{\omega }^{2}}x=-{{(100)}^{2}}x=-{{10}^{4}}x
(vi) kinetic energy \displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})
When x = 0, the kinetic energy is maximum, i.e.,
(K.E.)max = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}
\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\times 1\times {{10}^{4}}\times {{\left( {\frac{6}{{100}}\ } \right)}^{\text{2}}}\text{metre}
= 18 joules.
Illustration
Two particles execute SHM of same amplitude and frequency along the same straight line. They pass one another, when going in opposite directions, each time their displacement is half of their amplitude. What is the phase difference between them?
Solution
\displaystyle {{y}_{1}}= A sin wt and \displaystyle {{y}_{2}}= Asin (wt + f)
wheny = A/2, \displaystyle \sin \omega t=\frac{1}{2}
\displaystyle \text{And}\ A/2=A\sin \ (\omega t+\phi )
sin wt cos Φ + cos wt sin Φ \displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}.
Substituting the value of sin wt and cos wt, we get
cosΦ – 1 = \displaystyle \sqrt{3} sin Φ
or (cos Φ – 1)2 = 3 (1 – cos2 Φ)
Solving we get, \displaystyle \cos \phi =+1\ \text{or}\ -\frac{1}{2}.
When cos Φ = + 1, Φ = 0 (not acceptable).
\displaystyle \cos \phi =-\frac{1}{2},\ \phi =120{}^\circ .
