Alasdair Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hithis is my first posting, however I have just been given my IA topic; Simple Harmonic Motion,I am currently considering using a tank of water and creating a simple harmonic wavefront and measuring the correlation between SHM and energy in a wave, any advice would be great.

dessskris Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 design a simple pendulum experiment. it's the easiest. 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I was looking at that, but unfortunatly our teacher says we can only have one person doing one type of experiment, two other people are looking at pendulums, one is looking at a mass on a spring and another at a marble on a track with parabolic curvei am currently thinking about a test tube floating in water, this SHM and then moving the tube closer to or further away from the source of disturbanceany hints / ideas?

dessskris Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 sorry I hate waves so I have no idea on that.what about varying the heights of dropping a ball and the time it takes to bounce X times? bouncing ball is also SHM, no?
