Displacement in SHM

In simple harmonic motion (SHM), displacement is described by the equation: x = A sin(ωt), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and t is time. This equation represents a sinusoidal wave that oscillates between positive and negative values of the amplitude.

Velocity in SHM

In SHM, velocity is the rate of change of displacement. The equation for velocity is: v = Aω cos(ωt), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and t is time. Velocity is also sinusoidal and leads displacement by π/2 radians.

Acceleration in SHM

In SHM, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The equation for acceleration is: a = -ω²A sin(ωt), where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and t is time. Acceleration is sinusoidal and lags displacement by π radians.

Study Notes

  • Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of oscillatory motion where the restoring force/torque is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium and is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
  • Periodic motion repeats its motion after a fixed interval of time (time period).
  • Oscillatory motion is a to and fro type of motion.
  • Damped oscillations result in decreased mechanical energy due to resistive forces.
  • Linear SHM involves back-and-forth motion along a straight line.
  • Angular SHM involves rotational oscillation about an axis.
  • The equation of motion for SHM is given by d²x/dt² + kx/m = 0, where k = positive constant, x = displacement from mean position.
  • Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
  • Angular frequency (ω) is related to the time period (T) by the equation ω = 2Ï€/T.
  • Frequency (f) is the number of oscillations per unit time, f = 1/T (Hz).
  • Phase constant (φ) is a constant in the SHM equation representing the initial phase of the motion.
  • Velocity (v) at an instant is calculated by v = A cos(ωt +φ).
  • Acceleration (a) at an instant is given by a = —ω²x.
  • The relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration in SHM varies periodically.
  • The energy of SHM is conserved between kinetic energy and potential energy.
  • The equation for displacement in SHM at time t is x = A sin(ωt + φ).
  • A graph of speed (v) vs displacement (x) in SHM is an ellipse.
