- Tripod stand
Simple Harmonic Motion
- Simple harmonic motion is a specific type of periodic motion.
- Periodic motion involves a repeated movement after equal intervals of time.
- Simple harmonic motion is characterized by a restoring force proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position.
- Restoring Force acts in the opposite direction of the displacement.
- This force returns the object to its equilibrium position.
- The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement.
- A larger displacement results in a larger restoring force.
Simple Pendulum & Restoring Force
- The pendulum's restoring force is related to the tension (T) in the string and the gravitational force (mg) on the ball.
- The restoring force is a component of the gravitational force.
- This restoring force is what returns the pendulum to its equilibrium position.
