An "attempt frequency" for a harmonic oscillator?
What is the "attempt frequency" for a harmonic oscillator with bound potential as the particle goes from x = -c to x = +c? What is the rate of its movement from -c to +c?
v =[itex]\frac{1}{2π}[/itex][itex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/itex]
ω=[itex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/itex]
1. x(t) = Acos(ωt)
2. [itex]\frac{d x(t)}{dt}[/itex] = -Aωsin(ωt)
3. v(t) = [itex]\frac{d x(t)}{dt}[/itex]
4. v(t) = -Aωsin(ωt)
5. -[itex]\frac{v(t)}{Asin(ωt)}[/itex] = ω
6. ω = -[itex]\frac{v(t)}{Asin(ωt)}[/itex]
4. Conclusion
Is the expression (equation) below the proper equation to use to determine the "attempt frequency" for a harmonic oscillator with bound potential as the particle makes its way between x = -c and x = +c?
ω = -[itex]\frac{v(t)}{Asin(ωt)}[/itex]?
