Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where a body moves back and forth around a central equilibrium position due to the restoring force of a spring or pendulum. It follows a sinusoidal pattern and has a constant period and amplitude.
The factors that affect Simple Harmonic Motion include the mass of the object, the force constant of the spring, and the amplitude of the motion. The frequency of the motion is also affected by these factors.
The equation for Simple Harmonic Motion is x(t) = A*cos(ωt + φ), where x is the displacement of the body, A is the amplitude of the motion, ω is the angular frequency, and φ is the phase constant.
Simple Harmonic Motion is a type of periodic motion that follows a specific sinusoidal pattern and has a constant period and amplitude. However, periodic motion can take on various forms and does not necessarily follow a sinusoidal pattern.
Simple Harmonic Motion involves the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy and vice versa as the body moves back and forth. The total energy of a system in SHM remains constant, as energy is transferred between potential and kinetic forms.
