# Harmonic Oscillator # A mass m is subject to a force F=-k*r. # What is the trajectory if the mass starts at position (a,0,0)? # How much time does it take to pass through zero? # What is the trajectory if it starts at (a,0,0) with velocity (0,v0,0)? # Compare to the case including gravity on earth in x direction # m*x'' = -k*x + g # m*y'' = -k*y (z can be set to 0). coefficient.1(-1) -> -a # (a,0,0), has to be negative because x' is negative coefficient.2 -> k/m_x # k/m for x coefficient.3(+1) -> v0 # (0,v0,0), has to be positive because y'' is positive coefficient.4 -> k/m_y # k/m for y, identical to k/m for x coefficient.5(-1) -> -g # g iintegrate x'' -> -x' iintegrate -x' -> x IC: -a cmultiply (k/m_x, x) -> k/m*x isum (k/m*x, -g) -> -k/m*x+g assign (-k/m*x+g) -> x'' iintegrate y'' -> -y' IC: v0 iintegrate -y' -> y cmultiply (k/m_y, y) -> k/m*y invert (k/m*y) -> -k/m*y assign (-k/m*y) -> y'' output x -> out.x output.y -> out.y
