Computational Thinking in Science and Math
Simple Harmic Motion in 1 and 2 Dimensions
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a better understanding of motion by analyzing position-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs of a mass undergoing SHM.
- Learn that a mass connected to a spring that has one end fixed on a horizontal surface has an elliptical trajectory.
- Get more practice on measuring frequency and period.
- Get a better understanding on how critical initial conditions are for motion of a system.
