Class 11 Physics Online Notes Periodic and Harmonic Motion


11th Physics
Periodic motion of a simple pendulum
If the motion of an object is periodic, then there is a characteristic time: the time it takes for the motion to repeat itself. This is called the period (of the periodic motion) and is usually given the symbol T:
Period (T): The time for one complete cycle of the periodic motion.
For example, the period of the rotation of the earth about its axis is one day. During the quarter, when classes are in session, the period of our activities is one week. We can also speak of the number of cycles repeated per unit time. This is called the frequency of the periodic motion:
frequency (f): The number of cycles per unit time.
Simple Harmonic Motion
If the motion of an object is a perfect single sinusoidal function, we term the motion ”simple harmonic”. Let’s review the mathematics of simple trig functions. We need just three parameters to describe any single sinusoidal function: the period (T), the amplitude (A), and a parameter related to the position at time t = 0. The amplitude of the motion is the maximum value from equilibrium that the object travels. Suppose the object starts off initially at x = 0, has some initial speed in the +x direction and an amplitude A. In this case, the motion of the object is described by:
x(t) = Asin( 2πt /T )
where T is the period of the motion. One often defines 2π/T to be the variable ω:
ω ≡ 2π / T
So one often sees the equation for this case of simple harmonic motion written as x(t) = Asin(ωt). At time t = 0, the position is at x = 0 since sin(0) = 0. The velocity of the particle at any time t is found by differentiating x(t):
v(t) = dx / dt = Aωcos(ωt)

Last Minute Tips to Crack SSC CGL 2019-20 (Tier-I) Exam

Last-Minute Tips to Crack SSC CGL 2019-20 (Tier-I) Exam 1. Don’t read any new topic at the last moment · Try to avoid studying any new topic at the last moment. Just revise what you have already studied. 2. Don’t forget your Admit Card, Photograph and ID Proof · Take a print out of your admit card and original photo identity proof, 1 photo and photocopy of the ID proof. Reach the examination center before time to avoid any last-minute trouble. 3. Maintain your Speed & Accuracy and Maximize your Score · Speed and Accuracy are two important factors to crack any competitive exam. Speed will help in maximizing the attempts while accuracy will ensure that you don’t end up losing marks as the negative marking of 0.5 marks for wrong answers is there. 4. Attempt according to the strategy you followed in the mock tests · Make sure you attempt the easier section first. The exam should be attempted with the same strategy you fol...

One to One Correspondence and Equivalent Sets Suppose the members of the family are dinning and plates are prepared on the table then there is a One to one correspondence between the set of family members and the plates prepared. We will indicate this correspondence by the symbol If each element of a set A is associated with one and only one element of a set B and each element of B is associated with one and only one element of set A, then the sets A and B are said to be in one to one correspondence. If both the sets are finite and if they are in one to one correspondence, it is obvious that they have the same number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, they are said to be equivalent sets. Using symbol, we write A B. Between two equivalent sets, a one to one corr...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
