Simple Harmonic Motion (SL) Flashcards
1
Q
Define SHM
A
repeated motion around an equilibrium position where the acceleration is proportional to the negative displacement
2
Q
in the equation for SHM, a=-w^2x, the angular frequency is negative because…
A
because displacement and acceleration are in opposite directions, it is a restorative force
3

A
furthest, zero
