When the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from a fixed point and always directed towards that fixed point then such an oscillation or vibration is said to be simple harmonic

What is the complete back and forth motion of an object or material?
This type of motion is called harmonic motion. This occurs when an object is attached to spring.
The maximum distance an object in simple harmonic motion moves from equilibrium is called the?
amplitude
The back and forth motion of a pendulum is called?
Simple harmonic motion
What is the back and forth motion of a pendulum is called?
AnswerSimple Harmonic Motion
Is a bouncing ball an example of simple harmonic motion?
It is not an example of a simple harmonic motion. For a simple harmonic motion, the equilibrium point must be in the middle of the applitude. The object must oscillate about equalibrium point.
Why are sine and cosine functions called harmonic?
Sinusoid shape of the sine and cosine functions appear as oscillations. If an object is moving in a straight line and its position (function of time) can be described as sinusoid then it is referred to as a simple harmonic motion.
The time needed for an object to complete one full cycle of simple harmonic motion is the?
Period
Does Simple harmonic motion have always constant angular frequency?
Yes. There are certainly other kinds of motion, whose angular frequency is not constant, but those are not called "simple harmonic" motion.
Is uniform circular motion a simple harmonic motion?
Simple Harmonic motion is circular motion. Look at a graph showing simple harmonic motion... you'll see it.
The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called orbital speed?
The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called inertia of motion.
What kind of motion is vibration?
Vibration is called Harmonic Motion. It is typically expressed as a sinusoid multiplied my an exponential.
What is that motion which is periodic but not harmonic?
what is difference between simple harmonic motion and vibratory motion?
