Simple harmonic motion occurs when a restoring force is proportional to displacement. Pendulums, springs, and vibrating strings exhibit this predictable oscillatory behavior.

Guia passo a passo

  1. 1Input mass, spring constant, and initial displacement or amplitude
  2. 2The calculator finds period, frequency, and maximum velocity
  3. 3Results show oscillation characteristics and energy distribution

Exemplos resolvidos

Entrada
m = 1 kg, k = 100 N/m, A = 0.1 m
Resultado
T ≈ 0.628 s, f ≈ 1.59 Hz
T = 2π√(m/k)

Erros comuns a evitar

  • Confusing amplitude with period
  • Assuming frequency and period are the same value

Perguntas frequentes

Is the period independent of amplitude?

Yes, in ideal SHM. A pendulum or spring oscillates with the same period regardless of oscillation size.

How does mass affect oscillation?

Heavier masses oscillate more slowly; the period is proportional to √m.
