Study Notes

Simple Harmonic Motion

  • Simple harmonic motion is a type of motion that occurs when the net force acting on an object is proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position.
  • The restoring force in simple harmonic motion is proportional to the displacement of the object from its equilibrium position.
  • When there is friction or dissipation of energy, simple harmonic motion will eventually come to a stop, as the energy is lost due to the friction or dissipation.
  • The inertial force and the restoring force in simple harmonic motion are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
  • Simple harmonic motion results in oscillatory motion, where the object moves back and forth about its equilibrium position.
  • Friction or dissipation of energy has a damping effect on simple harmonic motion, causing the amplitude of the oscillations to decrease over time.
