SHM Flashcards
1
Q
Define SMH
A
The motion of an object whose acceleration is proportional to its distance from the equilibrium position with this acceleration always being directed towards that point.
2
Q
The acceleration of the projection is towards? …
A
The centre, due to the centripetal acceleration
3
Q
At what point does maximum velocity occur at?
A
Equilibrium point (0 displacement)
4
Q
When does velocity = 0 (or is a minimum)
A
At maximum displacement
5
Q
When does maximum acceleration occur?
A
When the displacement is at maximum (or equal to amplitude)
6
Q
When does minimum acceleration occur?
A
When displacement is zero
7
Q
Which trigonometric function is generally associated with a SHM displacement/time graph?
A
Cosine graph
