FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)?

Back

Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where an object moves back and forth around an equilibrium position, and the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from that position.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the period of a simple harmonic oscillator?

Back

The period (T) of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by the formula T = 2π√(m/k), where m is the mass of the object and k is the spring constant.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is amplitude in the context of SHM?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of an object from its equilibrium position in simple harmonic motion.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define frequency in terms of SHM.

Back

Frequency is the number of complete cycles of motion that occur in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and period in SHM?

Back

The frequency (f) and period (T) are inversely related: f = 1/T.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the restoring force in SHM?

Back

The restoring force in SHM is the force that acts to bring the object back to its equilibrium position, and it is proportional to the displacement from that position.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the equation of motion for SHM?

Back

The equation of motion for simple harmonic motion can be expressed as x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and φ is the phase constant.
