PHYSICS Simple harmonic motion
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTIONThe motion of a body whose acceleration is directly proportional to displacement from a fixed point and is always directed torwards that point
- 2Equilibrium Positionthe position where a body executing simple harmonic motion is at rest
- 3Cyclea complete to and from movement
- 4Periodtime taken for one complete oscillation
- 5Frequencythe number of complete oscillations per unit time
- 6Angular Frequencythe rate of change of angle
- 7Phase Differencetime interval or phase angle by which one wave leads or lags another
- 8Amplitudemaximum displacement from equilibrium position
- 9Interchange of energy in S.H.MPotential energy is 0 at equilibrium position whilst kinetic energy is maximum.
At maximum displacement i.e amplitude ,kinetic energy is 0 and potential energy is maximum
