Introduction to Waves: Oscillatory Motion
Simple Harmonic Motion is the study of an object's motion with a linear restoring force.
2 hours of content
What you'll learn
- Identify objects that are subjected to simple harmonic motion (with linear restoring force).
- Find the SHM solutions using Newton's second law.
- Describe the evolution of an object's displacement, velocity, and acceleration as it undergoes SHM.
- Investigate simple pendulum motion, circular motion, and vertical oscillations.
- Describe and calculate the energy involved in SHM as it varies with time or position.
Explains simple harmonic motion and oscillatory systems using Newton's second law. Topics include displacement, velocity, acceleration, simple pendulums, circular motion, vertical oscillations, and energy in SHM. After the course, learners can solve basic SHM problems and analyze oscillatory motion mathematically.
