FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the small angle approximation in the context of oscillations?
Back
For small values of the angle, the position of the bob is approximated to simplify calculations.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the equilibrium position in oscillations?
Back
The middle position where the forces acting on the bob are balanced.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the restoring force in SHM?
Back
The force due to the spring that tries to restore the object to the equilibrium position.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the graph of acceleration against displacement look like in SHM?
Back
It has a negative gradient due to the negative sign in the equation a = -w^2 x
