Question

Simple harmonic motion displacement formula

Answer 1

y = Sin(wt - kx)

where k = wave vector and w is angular frequency

Answer 2

An object is undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) if; the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement from its equilibrium position.

the acceleration of an object in SHM is proportional to the displacement and opposite in sign. This is a basic property of any object undergoing simple harmonic motion.

Formula;

we can calculate the displacement of the object at any point in it’s oscillation using the equation below.

x=Acoswt

or

x=Acos(2pi)ft
