Topic 7.3: Representing and Analyzing SHM
Learning Objective: 7.3.A
Describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object exhibiting SHM.
Essential Knowledge: 7.3.A.1
For an object exhibiting SHM, the displacement of that object measured from its equilibrium position can be represented by the equations or .
Essential Knowledge: 7.3.A.1.i
Minima, maxima, and zeros of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are features of harmonic motion.
Essential Knowledge: 7.3.A.1.ii
Recognizing the positions or times at which the displacement, velocity, and acceleration for SHM have extrema or zeros can help in qualitatively describing the behavior of the motion.
Essential Knowledge: 7.3.A.2
Changing the amplitude of a system exhibiting SHM will not change the period of that system.
Essential Knowledge: 7.3.A.3
Properties of SHM can be determined and analyzed using graphical representations.
