Graphical Analysis of Simple Harmonic Motion

NIS, Taldykorgan Grade 11 Physics

Slide 28

Objectives:

State the formula required for SHM.

Recognize equations and graphs which represent the variation of displacement, velocity and acceleration with time.

Investigate simulations of mass-spring systems and the simple pendulum.

Slide 29

Oscillation of the spring and the motion of the pendulum are the examples of simple harmonic motion.

fig a is showing the displacement time graph

fig b is showing the velocity time graph

fig c is showing the acceleration time graph of the Simple Harmonic Motion.
