Question
Answer
Hooke's Law   F=-kx  
🗑
acceleration of a spring with constant k and mass m, having been displaced x meters   a=-w^2x, w=angular frequency. w=2pif=(k/m)^1/2 w is measured in radians per second,  
🗑
what does frequency/angular frequency depend on   the spring constant and the mass attached to the spring, but not on the displacement of the spring  
🗑
kinetic and potential energy for springs   U=1/2kx^2 K=1/2mv^2  
🗑
restoring force of pendulum   F=-mgsin(theta)  
🗑
angular frequency of pendulum   w=2pif=(g/L)^1/2 only the acceleration of gravity and the length of the pendulum affect angular frequency  
🗑
pendulum max potential energy   U=mgh h is the vertical height difference between the pendulum's mass in the equilibrium position and mass at the given angular displacement  
🗑
longitudinal waves   particles of the wave oscillate along the direction of travel of the wave motion; the wave particles are oscillation along the direction of energy transfer.  
🗑
transverse waves   particles are oscillating perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer  
🗑
displacement of particle in a wave   y=Ysin(kx-wt) Y is amplitude, k is wave number, w is angular frequency  
🗑
speed of wave v   v=(freq.)(lambda)  
🗑
wave number and angular frequency   k=(2pi)/lambda w=2pif=(2pi)/T  
🗑
what is speed of sound proportional too   inversely proportional to the square root of density but directly proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.  
🗑
Intensity   I=P/A SI units of W/m^2 A is surface area, also expressed as P=IA  
🗑
What is intensity proportional too   the square of the amplitude. Doubling amplitude produces wave that is 4 times as intense. Intensity also related to distance from the source of sound wave.  
🗑
decibels equation   B=10log(I/I.) I.=threshold of hearing 1x10^-14 W/m^2 ratio of two intensities can be found by Bf=Bi+log(If/Ii) where If/Ii is the ration of the final intensity of the initial intensity  
🗑
doppler shifts   if source and detector moving toward each other, perceived freq f' is greater than actual frequency f, if moving away perceived frequency f' is less than actual freq.  
🗑
standing wave equations   lambda=(2L/n) f=(nv/2L) n=1,2,3,...  
🗑
what is the fundamental frequency   the lowest frequency (longest wavelength) of a standing wave that can be supported in a given length of string  
🗑
pipes and standing waves (nodes and anodes)   if the end is open, it will support an antinode, if it is closed, it will support a node  
🗑
open pipe wave equations   lambda=(2L/n) n=1,2,3,... f=v/f, f=(nv/2L)  
🗑
closed pipe wave equations   lambda=(4L/n) n=1,3,5,.... f=(nv/4L)  
🗑
