In the simple harmonic motion, the displacement of the object is always in the opposite direction of the restoring force. Simple harmonic motion is always oscillatory. Examples are the motion of the hands of a clock, the motion of the wheels of a car, etc. Examples are the motion of a pendulum, motion of a spring, etc.
Likewise, people ask, what is meant by simple harmonic motion give some examples?
Simple harmonic motion is any motion where a restoring force is applied that is proportional to the displacement and in the opposite direction of that displacement. Another example of simple harmonic motion is a pendulum, though only if it swings at small angles.
Similarly, how is simple harmonic motion used in everyday life?
A pendulum is a simple example of harmonic motion. Draw you finger-nails across a chalk board, the sound is a simple albeit irritating example of harmonic motion. Another example is your ear drum itself, The sound waves move thru the air. This force F makes the ear bone vibrate.
The motion equations for simple harmonic motion provide for calculating any parameter of the motion if the others are known. If the period is T = s. then the frequency is f = Hz and the angular frequency = rad/s. The motion is described by Displacement = Amplitude x sin (angular frequency x time)
