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.
