SHM and damping Flashcards
1
Q
State the relationship between acceleration and displacement
A
Acceleration is proportional to the opposite of the displacement.
2
Q
Stas relationship between frequency and amplitude
A
Frequency (and therefore period) is independent of amplitude
3
Q
Resonance
A
When the driving frequency equals the natural frequency
4
Q
Damping
A
When energy is transferred to the surroundings
Deliberate damping reduces the effect of resonance
