Episode 304: Simple Pendulum
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students investigate the simple harmonic motion of a pendulum. This involves discussion and student investigations. The activities include: • measuring the restoring force • investigating the time period of a pendulum • using a computer model of a pendulum •...
Episode 305: Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode enables students to appreciate that there is a continuous interchange between potential and kinetic energy during simple harmonic motion. Students are also shown the mathematical basis for calculating energy.
The activities include:
•...
Episode 306: Damped Simple Harmonic Motion
From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode will help students to see how energy moves from an oscillating system and how this results in a decrease in amplitude that follows an exponential decay pattern.
The activities include:
• observing water oscillating in a u-tube
• the motion of...
Episode 307: Resonance
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students see demonstrations and perform practical work to understand how simple harmonic oscillators show resonance when forced to vibrate at their natural frequency.
The activities include:
• discussing resonance
• demonstrating Barton's...
