This resource is a complete lesson that covers Simple Harmonic Motion for the OCR A Level Physics A course. However, it is useful for other exam boards too.
This lesson teaches the following content:
-displacement, amplitude, period, frequency, angular frequency and phase difference
-simple harmonic motion; defining equation a =-ω²x
-techniques and procedures used to determine the period/frequency of simple harmonic oscillations
-solutions to the equation a = -ω²x e.g. x = Acosωt or x = Asinωt
-velocity v = ± ω √ (A² - x²) hence vmax = ωA
-the period of a simple harmonic oscillator is independent of its amplitude (isochronous oscillator)
-graphical methods to investigate simple harmonic motion (mass of spring system).
-interchange between kinetic and potential energy during simple harmonic motion
-energy-displacement graphs for a simple harmonic oscillator
This lesson includes:
-A full presentation including 2 example questions with worked solutions.
-A worksheet with model answers, perfect to set as homework.
-Clear visual aids and diagrams to simplify complex concepts.
-Editable PowerPoint and Word document for easy customisation.
