Angular frequency Definition and 126 Threads

This is a the representation of the two masses. . Using Newton's second law I got the following equations assuming x1>>x2: m*x1''(t) = -k(x1-x2) m*x2''(t) = 0.5kx1-kx2 I put it in matrix form m| x1''| = | -k k| *|x1| |x2''| =| 0.5k -k| |x2| After some simplification assuming...

This might be silly, but I am a bit confused by the conventions used for transitions in atoms/molecules. Usually these are given in nm and using the formula ##\lambda = c/\nu##, from here we can get the normal frequency ##\nu## and the angular frequency would be given by ##\omega = 2\pi\nu##. In...

Hi all I am a little bit confused about the definition of angular frequency in the context of nuclear rotation, some times its defined in the regular way as $$ E=\hbar \omega $$ and other time from the rigid rotor formula $$ E=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2I} J(J+1) $$ where ##I## is the moment of inertia...

I've been reading many references that said "frequency" and "angular frequency" are two different things. I'm writing a report about damped oscillations experiments (that's a task from a subject in my college). Can someone tell me which one is the resonant frequency (natural frequency)? f or ω...

tried writing the x position as x = Acos(wt) (ignoring the phase) so that d2x / dt2 = -w2x Substituting that into the individual motion equations would get the required result for the individual masses, but I am not sure how to combine the equations to get the reduced mass

When given a small displacement ##x##, the equation for m is: (i) N sin θ = m.a where N is the normal force acting on the ball and θ is angle of the ball with respect to vertical. (ii) N cos θ = m.g So: $$\tan \theta = \frac a g$$ $$\frac x R = \frac{\omega^{2} x}{g} \rightarrow \omega = \sqrt...

##-w1## and ##-w2## are to shift the cosine graph to the right, and ##\frac{2pi}{\lambda}## is to stretch the graph. But I can't seem to draw an appropriate ##y1+y2## graph (quite irregular) and I struggle to find the resultant frequency and wavelength. Also, why is there angular frequency in a...

I calculate as follow and get a correct answer, but I wonder why the weight of the ladder 6 kg is not included in the mass (m) in the numerator. w= √(mgd/I) = √ { （42*10*1)/ [(1/12)(6)(2^2)+42*1] } = √ (420/44) = 3.06

Under the topic of simple harmonic motion comes the composition of two SHM's with the same angular frequency, different phase constants, and amplitudes in the same directions and in perpendicular directions. composition of SHM's in same direction: say a particle undergoes two SHM's described by...

The hint says to use the moment of inertia of the rod, however i have not covered this on my course and I don't know what it is. After googling moment of inertia of a rod I found that it is a quantity expressing a body's tendency to resist angular acceleration, and for a rod I=1/3ML^2. So...

So in my textbook on oscillations, it says that angular frequency can be defined for a damped oscillator. The formula is given by: Angular Frequency = 2π/(2T), where T is the time between adjacent zero x-axis crossings. In this case, the angular frequency has meaning for a given time period...

Hey all, so I’ve been learning nonlinear acoustics and have encountered a conceptual hurdle in my studies. When using a model, such as a form of the classical Burgers equation, to propagate sound waves, you generally have a “characteristic angular frequency” in the equation (often represented by...

I have seen so many questions and confusion about the difference between angular velocity/speed and angular frequency. Usually, answers were always given in the context of uniform circular motion (angular speed) and simple harmonic oscillation (angular frequency), but this is what causes the...

I looked up and read the definitions in several different books, but still don't get it. Is someone willing to explain it to me on a really simple level?

The context is an ac circuit with only one element - the inductor. My textbook says that the self-induced emf increases with increasing angular frequency, but I'm having trouble seeing this mathematically. If self-induced emf = ε = -L(dI/dt) and L = X/ω, then emf and ω are inversely related...

While studying S.H.M., I found that the term ##\omega## is used quite a lot. The book says that this ##\omega## is the angular frequency. What is this angular frequency? Why do we use ##\omega## rather than ##\nu##, that is, the normal frequency? All equations in S.H.M. are made with ##\omega##...
