AP PHYSICS C Oscillation B. Linear Oscillators 1. Block-spring system - Consider Newton's laws in order to derive .... @ = m and therefore, T = 27 \\K Let's make a plot of our class example! (Solve for k) C. Energy in oscillations 1. Total energy is the sum of potential and kinetic Consider the spring-block system again... a) Potential in this case is U(t) = - k[xm, cos(cot + $)] b) Kinetic in this case is K(t) = =m[-ox, sin(or +$)] c) Consider the Spring - Mass system
