PHYSICS Simple harmonic motion

Question	Answer
SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION	The motion of a body whose acceleration is directly proportional to displacement from a fixed point and is always directed torwards that point Image: Shm (binary/octet-stream)
Equilibrium Position	the position where a body executing simple harmonic motion is at rest
Cycle	a complete to and from movement
Period	time taken for one complete oscillation Image: Amplitude (binary/octet-stream)
Frequency	the number of complete oscillations per unit time Image: Frequency (binary/octet-stream)
Angular Frequency	the rate of change of angle
Phase Difference	time interval or phase angle by which one wave leads or lags another Image: Phase Diff (binary/octet-stream)
Amplitude	maximum displacement from equilibrium position Image: Amplitude (binary/octet-stream)
Interchange of energy in S.H.M	Potential 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 Image: Energy Exchange (binary/octet-stream)
