Simple Harmonic Motion
BlackBoard Notes

  1. What is the spring constant, k, of the system?
  2. Can the oscillation period, T, be predicted?

  • Measure k:

    Dynamics Track

    Hooke's Law:
         F = kΔx
         y = (slope) x

  • Predict Period:

  • Measure T:

    Dynamics Track Start with same displacement!

  • Repeat T measurement when cart carries black block:
