What do you mean by harmonic motion?
Definition of harmonic motion : a periodic motion (as of a sounding violin string or swinging pendulum) that has a single frequency or amplitude or is composed of two or more such simple periodic motions.
What is an example of harmonic motion?
The back and forth, repetitive movements of the swing against the restoring force is the simple harmonic motion. The pendulum oscillating back and forth from the mean position is an example of simple harmonic motion. Bungee Jumping is an example of simple harmonic motion.
What can you explain about simple harmonic motion?
Periodic Motion and Oscillations.
Why is it called simple ‘harmonic’ motion?
The motion is called harmonic because musical instruments make such vibrations that in turn cause corresponding sound waves in air.
What are the conditions of simple harmonic motion?
Basic conditions to execute simple harmonic motion are as under: There must be an elastic restoring force acting on the system. The system must have inertia. The acceleration of the system should be directly proportional to its displacement and is always directed to mean position i.e. a a – x.
What are the properties of simple harmonic motion?
Simple harmonic motion. Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same,…
