SHM Flashcards
1
Q
Define SHM
A
The motion of an object such that its acceleration is directly proportional to the distance from a fixed point and the direction is always directed to the fixed point.
2
Q
Where does the object have maximum velocity in SHM?
A
Middle of its motion
3
Q
Where does the object have maximum acceleration in SHM?
A
At maximum displacement
4
Q
What is frequency directly proportional to in SHM
A
acceleration, only if amplitude is not changed
5
Q
Name the two types of potential energy involved when a mass–spring system performs vertical simple harmonic oscillations.
A
Elastic potential and GPE
