College of Engineering Policies On Final Exam Rescheduling q Regulation 9 Student responsibility for scheduling: " Each student is responsible for arranging a course list that will permit satisfactory progress towards degree requirements and a class schedule that (a) avoids class and final exam scheduling conflicts, (b) avoids an excessively demanding final exam schedule, and (c) verifies registration in chosen classes. q Regulation 25 Final exam rescheduling: " A student may be permitted to take an examination at other than the regularly scheduled time only with permission of the instructor. Permission will be granted only for illness or other unusual and substantiated cause beyond the student's control. (See also Regulation 9).

Motion of Spring-Mass System q (see demo) After the mass is (initially) pulled away from equilibrium and released (from rest) at displacement A, the mass block will move under restoring force F s in a back and forth fashion (oscillation). The motion is periodic. The motion is between A and A. At any point, acceleration a = F s /m = - k/m x The motion continues indefinitely Ø This type of motion is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) q Key quantities of SHM Amplitude A Period T Frequency f = 1/T (unit 1/s: Hertz Hz) Angular frequency ω=2πf
Quizzes/Exercises q A particle m moving in x direction has its position described by expression x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) (A>0): What is its maximum displacement in +x direction? x + max = +A What is its maximum in x direction? x max = A So the particle is moving between A and +A è A is called the amplitude.
Quizzes/Exercises (2) q A particle m moving in x direction has its position described by expression x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) (A>0): Compare the displacement x(t) and x(t+2π/ω) x(t) = Acos(ωt + φ) x(t + 2π /ω) = Acos(ωt + 2π + φ) = x(t) Ø so the motion is periodic in time è we can define T = 2π/ω as the period For a periodic motion x(t+t) = x(t) A related quantity f = 1/T is called the frequency. (unit Hertz = 1/s) ω itself is called the angular frequency. ω = 2π/T = 2πf
Quizzes/Exercises q A particle m moving in x direction has its position described by expression x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) (A>0): What is its position at t=0? x(0) = A cos(φ) or x(0)/a=cos(φ) Ø The initial position is defined by φ. φ is called the phase angle (or simply phase) of the motion.
Harmonic Oscillation q Motion described by expression x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) is called harmonic oscillation A: amplitude ω: angular frequency Quick Quiz: Is x(t)=asin(ωt+φ) a harmonic oscillaton? x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) T= 1/f = 2π/ω φ: phase constant x(0)=acos(φ)
Quizzes/Exercises(3) q For a harmonic motion x(t)=acos(ωt+φ) : what is its velocity as function of t? v(t) = dx dt = Aω sin(ωt + φ) = Aω cos(ωt + φ + π /2) what is its acceleration as function of t? a(t) = dv dt = Aω 2 sin(ωt + φ + π /2) = Aω 2 cos(ωt + φ)

Ø K(t) = ½ mv 2 = ½ ma 2 ω 2 sin 2 (ωt+φ) Is the force on it a conservative force? Ø Yes. (recall: spring force is conservative) If yes, what is the potential energy associated? Ø U(t) = ½ kx 2 = ½ ma 2 ω 2 cos 2 (ωt+φ) what is total mechanic energy as function of t? Ø E(t) =K(t)+U(t) = ½ ma 2 ω 2 Is total mechanic energy a constant?
