2.3 - SHM Flashcards
1
Q
define SHM
A
acceleration is proportional to, and in
the opposite direction to, the displacement from the rest position.
2
Q
what type of force causes an SHM
A
a linear restoring force
3
Q
show that y=Asinwt is consistent with a=-w^2y
A
see something
4
Q
explain the difference between types of damping
A
underdamping-oscillation while the amplitude decreases(period is unchanged)
critical damping-oscillation stops abruptly
overdamping-oscillation stops more slowly
