Simple harmonic motion (SHM) describes oscillatory motion where acceleration is proportional to displacement and opposite in direction. Springs and pendulums exhibit SHM.
Formel
x(t) = A × cos(ωt + φ); v = -Aω × sin(ωt + φ); a = -Aω² × cos(ωt + φ)
Trin-for-trin guide
- 1Enter amplitude A, angular frequency ω, initial phase φ
- 2Calculate position, velocity, and acceleration at time t
