Simple Harmonic Motion

Image
  Simple Harmonic Motion: A fundamental idea in physics, simple harmonic motion (SHM) explains an object's periodic back-and-forth motion about an equilibrium point. It happens when the force exerted on the item is directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportionate to the displacement from that point. What is Simple Harmonic Motion? Definition: An item oscillates when its acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium position and is constantly oriented in that direction. This type of motion is known as simple harmonic motion. Characteristics: Periodic Motion: SHM is a type of periodic motion, meaning it repeats itself at regular intervals. Restoring Force: The motion is governed by a restoring force that brings the object back to its equilibrium position. Linear Relationship: The force acting on the object is directly proportional to its displacement from the equilibr
