Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), focusing on oscillations and the relationship between restoring force and displacement. Key concepts include period, frequency, and angular frequency, along with their relationships. It explores SHM in spring-mass systems and simple pendulums, including their respective period formulas and how mass, spring constant, length, and gravity affect these. The guide also emphasizes connections between these systems and provides practice questions covering formula application, conceptual understanding, and graphical analysis, with a final exam focus including energy in SHM.

Question 1 of 11

What is the core characteristic of Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)? ๐Ÿค”

The restoring force is inversely proportional to the displacement

The restoring force is constant

The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement

There is no restoring force
