DESCRIPTION
Simple Harmonic Motion. …an introduction. Simple Harmonic Motion. A periodic (repeating) motion that is the result of a restoring force which is proportional to the object’s displacement from rest position . A restoring force always pushes/pulls toward the rest position (equilibrium). - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• A periodic (repeating) motion that is the result of a restoring force which is proportional to the object’s displacement from rest position.
• A restoring force always pushes/pulls toward the rest position (equilibrium).
• One complete oscillation of an object undergoing periodic motion; when an object undergoing periodic motion has returned to its initial state (position and velocity), it has completed one cycle.
Cycle
• The time it takes for an object in SHM to undergo one complete cycle.• Symbol: T• Units: seconds, minutes, days, etc.
Period
• The number of cycles that occur per unit of time (usually per second).• Symbol: f• Units: hertz (Hz), sec-1, rev/sec, etc.• T and f are inverses of one another.
FREQUENCY
f1
TT1
f
• The maximum displacement of an object from its equilibrium position.• Symbol: A• Units: meters, cm, mm, nm, km, etc.
