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.
