Physics - SHM
Hooke’s Law-✔*When an object is stretched, bent or deformed the
restoring force is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium
position
Elastic Constant-✔the constant of proportionality between the applied force
and the resulting displacement of a given spring
Elasticity-✔The ability of a body to resist a distorting influence or stress to
return to its original size and shape when the stress is removed
Simple harmonic motion-✔where the acceleration of a body towards a
particular point is proportional to its displacement from that point
Amplitude-✔the max distance that an object moves from its equilibrium
position
frequency-✔the number of revolutions, cycles or oscillations an object
completes per unit time
Period-✔The time taken to complete one full revolution, oscillation or cycle
