Life after Phys 111 • The course material of Phys 111 has given you a taste of a wide range of topics which are available to you as a student. • For those of you who have an interest in gravitation/ astronomy, I suggest the following electives: • Phys 320, 321 – Astronomy and Astrophysics I and II • Phys 322 – Observational Astronomy • For those of you interested in the biological or BME expects, I suggest the following electives: • Phys 350 – Biophysics I, Phys 451 - Biophysics II • For those of your interested in light, optics, and photonics, I suggest the following elective which I will be teaching Fall 2014 and Fall 2015: • OPSE 301 – Introduction to Optical Science and Engineering
Why care about oscillatory motion? Application of Total force=0 and total torque= 0 tells you that you are in static equilibrium. Oscillatory motion is related to Stability of Equilibrium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-zczJXSxnw Wind drives oscillations in Tacoma Narrows Bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4t13uxJFQ Buildings in an earthquake… (start at 1:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1oceE_67MM This one didn’t survive….
Iclicker Question #1 Where and when was the largest earthquake recorded since 1900? • Chile, 1960 • Alaska, 1964 • Northern Sumatra (2004) – subsequent Tsunami • Japan, 2011 • San Francisco, 1906
Iclicker Question #1 Where and when was the largest earthquake recorded since 1900? • Chile, 1960 - 9.5 • Alaska, 1964 – 9.2 • Northern Sumatra (2004) – subsequent Tsunami – 9.1 • Japan, 2011 – 9.0 • San Francisco, 1906 – 7.8 Largest in New Jersey - 1783 – 5.3
Iclicker Question #2 Consider the plot of the position versus time for a particle in simple harmonic motion. When the particle is in position A, how would you describe the particles position and velocity? • The position and velocity are both positive • The position and velocity are both negative • The position is negative and the velocity is positive • The position is positive and the velocity is negative • The position is negative and the velocity is zero.
Iclicker Question #3 Consider the plot of the position versus time for two different masses which are oscillating while attached to a spring (assume spring constant is fixed). Which of the following statements is true: • Particle A has a larger mass than particle B • Particle B has a larger mass than particle A • Both particles have the same mass • I can not answer right now due to the earthquake.
