Simple harmonic motion CGP pg 100 to 101

Question 1

Simple harmonic motion is defined in terms of… And…

Answer 1

Acceleration

Displacement

Question 2

How does An object moving with simple harmonic motion oscillate

The distance of the object from the midpoint is called the

Answer 2

It oscillates To and fro either side of a Midpoint

Displacement

Question 3

There’s always a restoring force pulling or pushing the object ..

Answer 3

Back towards the midpoint

Question 4

The size of the restoring force is

Answer 4

Directly proportional to the displacement

I.e if the displacement doubles the restoring force doubles too

Question 5

As the restoring force causes acceleration towards the midpoint we can also say

Answer 5

The acceleration is directly proportional to displacement

Question 6

Condition for simple harmonic motion

A is directly proportional to -displacement
There’s a negative sign because

Answer 6

An oscillation in which the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to its displacement from the midpoint and is directed towards the midpoint

The acceleration is opposing the displacement

Question 7

The Restoring force makes the object

Answer 7

Exchange potential energy and gravitational energy
