Simple harmonic motion is non-complex periodic motion, just like the swing of a pendulum. The pendulum starts at the "top" of one side, swings down through the bottom of an arc, and then reaches the "top" of the other side. Once there, it swings back down through the bottom of its arc to the place it began. This is one complete cycle of the motion of that pendulum. What is characteristic of the motion is that is repeats, and there is a time interval associated with the movement. It takes some amount of time for the complete cycle to occur, and that is said to be the period of the motion. Additionally, if we look at the number of cycles of the motion for a given period of time, we could specify a frequency for that motion. It takes "x" seconds for one cycle (the period of the motion) to occur, or there are "z" cycles of that motion (the frequency of the motion) for a given span of time.
All things considered, either frequency or periodcould be said to be a basic unit of simple harmonic motion.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the difference between periodic motion and simple harmonic motion?
Periodic motion refers to any motion that repeats at regular intervals, while simple harmonic motion is a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. In simple terms, all simple harmonic motion is periodic, but not all periodic motion is simple harmonic.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves
What is the motion of a pendulum?
Simple harmonic motion
Why is a pendulum not considered simple harmonic motion?
A pendulum is not considered simple harmonic motion because its motion is affected by factors like air resistance and friction, which can cause deviations from the idealized simple harmonic motion pattern.
How to calculate the period of a simple harmonic motion?
by using the formula we will calculat time period of simple harmonic motion
What is that motion which is periodic but not harmonic?
what is difference between simple harmonic motion and vibratory motion?
Can a motion be oscillatory but not simple harmonic?
Yes, a motion can be oscillatory without being simple harmonic. Simple harmonic motion specifically refers to a type of oscillatory motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. Other types of oscillatory motion can have different relationships between the restoring force and displacement, making them non-simple harmonic.
What remains constant in simple harmonic motion if friction is ignored?
In simple harmonic motion, the frequency remains constant if friction is ignored.
More differences between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion with practical examples?
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. Practical examples include a swinging pendulum or a mass-spring system. Periodic motion, on the other hand, refers to any repeated motion that follows the same path at regular intervals, such as the motion of a wheel rotating. So, while all simple harmonic motion is periodic, not all periodic motion is necessarily simple harmonic.
Are alternating currents in simple harmonic motion?
Yes, alternating currents are a type of simple harmonic motion where the current oscillates back and forth periodically. This motion is characterized by a sinusoidal waveform and can be described using equations similar to those used for simple harmonic motion.
