Oscillation

Oscillation refers to any Periodic Motion moving at a distance about the equilibrium position and repeat itself over and over for a period of time . Example The Oscillation up and down of a Spring , The Oscillation side by side of a Spring. The Oscillation swinging side by side of a pendulum

Spring's Oscillation

Up and down Oscillation

When apply a force on an object of mass attach to a spring . The spring will move a distance y above and below the equilibrium point and this movement keeps on repeating itself for a period of time . The movement up and down of spring for a period of time is called Oscillation

Any force acting on an object can be expressed in a differential equation

$F=m{\frac {d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}}$

Equilibrium is reached when

F = - F_y

$F=m{\frac {d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}}=-ky$

$F={\frac {d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}}+{\frac {k}{m}}y=0$

$s^{2}+{\frac {k}{m}}s=0$

$s=\pm j{\sqrt {\frac {k}{m}}}t=\pm j\omega t=e^{j}\omega t+e^{-}j\omega t$

$y=ASin\omega t$

Side by Side Oscillation of Spring

When apply a force on an object of mass attach to a spring . The spring will move a distance x above and below the equilibrium point and this movement keeps on repeating itself for a period of time . The movement up and down of spring for a period of time is called Oscillation

Any force acting on an object can be expressed in a differential equation

$F=m{\frac {d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}}$

Equilibrium is reached when

F = - F_x

$F=m{\frac {d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}}=-kx$

$F={\frac {d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}}+{\frac {k}{m}}x=0$

$s^{2}+{\frac {k}{m}}s=0$

$s=\pm j{\sqrt {\frac {k}{m}}}t=\pm j\omega t=e^{j}\omega t+e^{-}j\omega t$

$y=ASin\omega t$

Swinging Oscillation from side to side of Pendulum

When there is a force acting on a pendulum. The pendulum will swing from side to side for a certain period of time. This type of movement is called oscillation

$mg=-ly$

$y={\frac {mg}{l}}=vt$

$t={\frac {mg}{lv}}$ ||

Summary

1. Oscillation is a periodic motion.
2. Oscillation can be thought as a Sinusoidal Wave.
3. Oscillation can be expressed by a mathematic 2nd order differential equation
