LEARNING OBJECTIVE: 7. 3 Describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object exhibiting SHM. As described in previous section the force and acceleration of a body of mass m performing SHM can be related as : $F = m a = – kx$, hence $a = – \frac{k}{m} x  = – 4 \pi^2f^2 x $ This means we can find the frequency of the vibration from the force equation as...

LEARNING OBJECTIVE : 7.1 Describe Simple harmonic motion 7.2 Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM. Consider the following motions: An object pushed on a frictionless surface: The object will start moving as the work done by the person pushing it converts into the kinetic energy of the object. The object will continue to move in one direction continuously unless disturbed...

Hi, I am Gaurav. I am a passionate physics student and tutor. I help students study and prepare for exams such as AP Physics, NEET and IIT JEE. I appeared for IIT JEE exam way back in 1998 and during that time I fell in love with Physics. I managed to clear the exam and eventually worked in several countries in different roles but the love for Physics always continued and hence the journey of life long learning and teaching.
