Harmonic Oscillation

Determine the period of oscillation. First determine how many complete oscillations have occurred from 0. 37 s to 4.43 s on the position graph. __________7__________

Note: All above are correct and hoping for some clarification on each below using the above information.

1. Calculate the time for one oscillation or the period of the oscillator. Show all work.

2. Now that you have the period, T, calculate the frequency f . Show all work.

3. Calculate the angular frequency of the oscillator. Show all work.

Explanation / Answer

1. Period: T = (4.43 - .37) / 7 = .58 sec
2. f = 1 / T = 1.72 / sec
3. Angular frequency = 2 * pi * f = 10.8 / sec
Note: Between .10 and .37 = 1/2 period (max to min)
This gives approximate period of 2 * .27 = .54 or
.10 to .67 represents 1 full oscillation or T = .57
