FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)?

Back

A type of periodic motion where an object moves back and forth around an equilibrium position, with a restoring force proportional to the displacement from that position.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for the period (T) of a simple pendulum?

Back

T = 2π√(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define amplitude in the context of SHM.

Back

Maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between frequency (f) and period (T)?

Back

f = 1/T, where f is the frequency and T is the period.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the unit of frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to cycles per second.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the restoring force in SHM?

Back

The force that acts to bring the object back to its equilibrium position, proportional to the displacement.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the phase constant in SHM?

Back

It determines the initial position and direction of motion of the oscillating object.
