Horizontal Spring Model |
This basic model of a horizontal spring can be related to a variety of other models including the LRC Circuit model.
Elastic_Potential_Energy = .5 *Spring_Constant*Position^2 Kinetic_Energy = .5*Mass*Velocity^2 Total_Energy = Elastic_Potential_Energy+Kinetic_Energy Position(t) = Position(t - dt) + (Change_Position) * dt INIT Position = -2 Change_Position = Velocity Velocity(t) = Velocity(t - dt) + (Acceleration) * dt INIT Velocity = 0 Acceleration = Restoring_Force/Mass Mass = 2 Period = 2*PI*SQRT(Mass/Spring_Constant) Restoring_Force = -Spring_Constant*Position Spring_Constant = 35 Time SpecsRange: 0-4, dT = 0.0125, Integration Method = Runge-Kutta 4 |
