An optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s). If a particular disk is spun at 294.3 rad/s while it is being read, and then is allowed to come to rest over 0.368 seconds, what is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk? average angular acceleration: rad s2 If the disk is 0.12 m in diameter, what is the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point 1/5 of the way out from the center of the disk? tangential acceleration:
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
