Hooke`s Law and Potential Energy
... Part 2: Energy Stored in a Spring (Potential Energy) THEORY: In this part of the experiment we will test the equation for the energy stored in a spring. Let's take down to be the positive direction so that the force exerted on the hanging mass can be written as Fx = -k(x-xo). Note that if the spring ...

Kinetic Energy and Work
... We can use the equation above to define the SI unit for work (the joule, symbol: J ). An object of mass m = 1kg that moves with speed v = 1 m/s has a kinetic energy K = 1J. Work: (symbol W) If a force F is applied to an object of mass m it can accelerate it and increase its speed v and kinetic energ ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
