Simple Harmonic Motion Report Questions
This report should adhere to a more formal lab report structure. You can see what that entails here.
- Describe how the mass moves relative to the equilibrium position.
- Calculate the maximum velocity from the position vs. time graph. Show your calculations. Compare with the value from the velocity time graph.
- At what position is the velocity a maximum?
- Calculate the minimum velocity from the position vs. time graph. Show your calculations. Compare with the value from the velocity time graph.
- At what position is the velocity a minimum?
- Calculate the maximum acceleration from the velocity vs. time graph. Show your calculations. Compare with the value from the acceleration vs. time graph.
- At what position is the acceleration a maximum?
- Calculate the minimum acceleration from the velocity vs. time graph. Show your calculations. Compare with the value from the acceleration vs. time graph.
- At what position is the acceleration a minimum?
- Compare your position, velocity and acceleration graphs with your predictions. Resolve any discrepancies.
Report Questions (II)
- Use the plots mentioned above [T(m),T(√m),T(A)] to validate the relations between the period and the mass or amplitude.
Report Questions (III)
- Discuss your trials of the conservation of energy for this systsm. If you found that energy is not conserved, make a case for where you think the energy went.
