Compare kinetic and potential energy in SHM.
Kinetic energy: Energy of motion, maximum at equilibrium. Potential energy: Stored energy, maximum at maximum displacement.
Differentiate between maximum velocity and maximum displacement in SHM.
Maximum velocity: Occurs at the equilibrium position. Maximum displacement: Occurs at the amplitude (farthest point from equilibrium).
Compare kinetic and potential energy in SHM.
Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion, maximum at equilibrium. | Potential Energy: Stored energy, maximum at extreme positions.
Differentiate between maximum kinetic energy and maximum potential energy in SHM.
Maximum Kinetic Energy: Occurs at equilibrium, velocity is maximum. | Maximum Potential Energy: Occurs at extreme positions, velocity is zero.
Define Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
Periodic motion where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction.
What is kinetic energy?
Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
What is potential energy?
Energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
Define amplitude in the context of SHM.
The maximum displacement of an object from its equilibrium position during oscillation.
Define equilibrium position in SHM.
The point where the net force on the oscillating object is zero.
Define spring constant (k).
A measure of a spring's stiffness; the force required to stretch or compress the spring by a unit length.
