## Edutopia Group Title in simple harmonic motion why does omega squared equal k/m? where does this come from? one year ago one year ago

1. John_ES Group Title

This comes from the differential eqution of the harmonic motion. The model for a spring, with mass m and elastic constant k, says, $m\cdot a=-k x\Rightarrow m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+kx=0\Rightarrow \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{k}{m}x=0\Rightarrow \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\omega^2x=0$ Using the last substitution is easy to find the solution $x=A\cos(\omega t+\phi)$

i dont understand polarization of x rays plz help me

3. Affaan Group Title

i want notes on fermi dirac statistics

4. John_ES Group Title

You can find some interesting notes about Fermi Dirac statistics in the web. For example, http://solar.njit.edu/~leej/lecture/ph641/Ch04_summary.pdf However, I also reommend you the Volume 5 of Berkeley Physics Course (introductory level) and the book from Kittel "Elementary Statistical Physics", Part1, Chapter 19. Other books of higher level (Hwang, Pathria) should be usefull too.
