Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

  1. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of oscillatory motion where the restoring force is proportional to displacement and acts in the opposite direction.
  2. The time period (T) of SHM is the time taken to complete one full oscillation.
  3. The frequency (f) is the number of oscillations completed in one second.
  4. The relationship between time period and frequency is given by f = 1/T.
  5. The amplitude (A) is the maximum displacement of the oscillating particle from its equilibrium p
  1. Oscillation is the repetitive motion of a system about its equilibrium position.
  2. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a special type of oscillation where the restoring force is proportional to displacement and acts in the opposite direction.
  3. A system undergoing SHM exhibits a periodic motion with constant frequency and time period.
  4. The motion of a simple pendulum and a mass attached to a spring are classic examples of SHM.
  5. The equation of motion for SHM is F = -kx
  1. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction.
  2. The equation governing SHM is F = -kx, where F is the restoring force, k is the force constant, and x is the displacement from equilibrium.
  3. In SHM, the motion occurs around a fixed equilibrium position.
  4. The restoring force in SHM is responsible for bringing the object back to its equilibrium position.
  5. SHM is a form of
