The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Simple Harmonic Motion - Oscillating Springs

from The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition Hosted by Ryan McDowell, Brad Kingett, Melanie Kingett, Zach Caruso

How do astronauts weigh themselves in space? The answer to that question and more are in Episode 22. Because masses on springs oscillate, we start by relating the period of a spring to the factors affecting it. (1:16) Brief time is spent explaining the difference between period and frequency, and we define many of the key terms associated with the wave nature of oscillations. (2:43) The equation to find position of an oscillating object is provided and utilized to determine the velocity of the object for a given time and various other sinusoidal relationships are discussed as well. (4:27) The Question of the Day asks: (9:23) How can the period of mass on a spring be doubled? Thank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition!
