How do astronauts weigh themselves in space? The answer to that question and more are in Episode 22. Because masses on springs oscillate, we start by relating the period of a spring to the factors affecting it. (1:16) Brief time is spent explaining the difference between period and frequency, and we define many of the key terms associated with the wave nature of oscillations. (2:43) The equation to find position of an oscillating object is provided and utilized to determine the velocity of the object for a given time and various other sinusoidal relationships are discussed as well. (4:27)
The Question of the Day asks: (9:23)
How can the period of mass on a spring be doubled?
