SIMPLE HARMONIC
MOTION
In a Ferris wheel,
your height ranges
from a minimum to
a maximum height.
The displaced
height can be
modeled by an
equation of simple
harmonic motion,
represented by the
graphs of sine and
cosine functions.
Simple harmonic motions
are exhibited by many
physical objects and Let us explore more of
phenomena, such as tidal these types of problems
waves, pendulums, involving graphs of
oscillators, sound waves, circular functions.
and other circular
motions.
•How can
we
represent
the
displaceme
nt of an
object
moving in
simple
harmonic
motion?
Simple
Harmonic
Motion
The circular
motion refers to
the motion of an
object along a
circular path. It
is one of the
repetitive or
periodic motions.
•Examples of this is when
you ride a Ferris wheel or a
Merry-go-round.
•Another example
of circular motion
is the Earth’s
rotation. Because
of the Earth’s
circular motion,
people were able
to tell time using
a sundial.
These circular
motions are
examples of
simple harmonic
motions that can
be modeled by
the graphs of
either sine or
cosine functions.
•When an object is
suspended on a
spring and pushed
down from its resting
position, the weight
goes up and down in
simple harmonic
motion.
•The resting position of
the spring when the
weight is suspended is
called its equilibrium.
This position corresponds
to the midline of the
graph of sine and cosine
functions.
Equations of Simple Harmonic
Motion
•The equation of simple harmonic motions, in terms
of the displacement at time of an object, is
represented by any of the following equations.
Amplitud
e

The amplitude is , where is


the maximum displacement
above the equilibrium, and
is the minimum displacement
below the equilibrium.
Period
The period is the time
required to complete one
cycle.
Frequenc The frequency is the number
y of cycles per unit of time.
The horizontal shift is ,
while the vertical shift
Shifting is .
We use if the initial position at is
at the equilibrium ,
and if the initial position is at
either the highest or lowest
position.
We use a positive sine function if
the next position after the midline
is at the maximum, and negative
sine if minimum.
We use a positive cosine function if
the initial position is at the
maximum, and negative cosine if
minimum.
EXAMPLE 1:
A weight is suspended
from a spring and is
moving up and down in a
simple harmonic motion.
The weight is pulled down
5cm below the resting
position at the start and
then released. After 8
seconds, the weight
reaches its highest location
for the first time. Find the
equation of the motion.
EXAMPLE 2:
Suppose you ride a Ferris
wheel. The lowest point is 3
meters off the ground, and its
diameter is 20m. After it
started, the Ferris wheel
revolves at a constant speed,
and it takes 32 seconds to
bring you back again to the
riding point. After riding for
150 seconds, find your
approximate height above the
ground.
ACTIVITY NO. 13: Analyze the given problem
1. The tide goes in and out according to a periodic function. When the tide
is out (low), a boat docked in the harbor is 8 feet above the ocean floor.
6 hours later, at peak high tide, the boat is 44 feet above the ocean floor.
Write a function that gives the boat’s height above the ocean floor as a
function of the time.

2. A weight on a spring is pulled down from its equilibrium then released.


The weight oscillates up and down, completing one cycle in 3 sec. the
weight’s maximum displacement is 7 cm from its equilibrium. Write an
equation that models the displacement from the equilibrium. Let be the
moment the weight is released. (Assume perfect elasticity & no friction
or air resistance)
