Elasticity and Oscillations Elasticity and Oscillations

Oscillation or vibration = back-and-forth motion.

Repeats itself, hence it is periodic. Vibrations common:

OscillationsOscillations

An object in stable equilibrium:

• If displaced slightly from equilibrium point, will oscillate about the equilibrium point.

• It will experience a restoring force.

• The restoring force - directly proportional to displacement.

• The restoring force is opposite to displacement. F = -kx

Types of Equilibrium

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)Periodic motion in which Magnitude of the restoring force is proportional to displacement.

Restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Spring (Elastic) force: F = -kx So spring motion is SHM.
