spring-mass system
[/sprɪŋ mæs ˈsɪstəm/]
nounpl: spring-mass systems
sistema massa-mola
1. A mechanical system consisting of a mass attached to a spring that can oscillate back and forth, commonly used in physics to study harmonic motion and vibrations
The spring-mass system is a fundamental model in classical mechanics for understanding oscillatory motion.
O sistema massa-mola é um modelo fundamental na mecânica clássica para compreender o movimento oscilatório.
2. An idealized physical system used in engineering and physics education to demonstrate principles of energy conservation, periodic motion, and resonance
Students use a spring-mass system in the laboratory to measure the spring constant and verify Hooke's law.
Os alunos usam um sistema massa-mola no laboratório para medir a constante elástica e verificar a lei de Hooke.
This is a technical physics term used universally in academic and engineering contexts in both Brazil and the United States. It is fundamental to engineering education and appears in undergraduate physics curricula worldwide. The term remains consistent across regions due to its scientific nature.
