Question

Characteristics of simple harmonic motion

Answer 1

These are Basic Conditions and characteristics for a body to exhibit SHM :

1- A restoring force must act on the body.

2- Body must have acceleration in a direction opposite to the displacement and the acceleration must be directly proportional to displacement.

3- The system must have inertia (mass).

4- SHM is a type of oscillatory motion.

5- It is a particular case of preodic motion.

6- It can be represented by a simple sine or cosine function.

Answer 2

Explanation:

a) The direction of acceleration is always towards the mean position, that is opposite to displacement.

b) Acceleration is directly proportional to displacement.
