Simple harmonic motion (SHM) describes oscillatory motion where acceleration is proportional to displacement and opposite in direction. Springs and pendulums exhibit SHM.

Formule

x(t) = A × cos(ωt + φ); v = -Aω × sin(ωt + φ); a = -Aω² × cos(ωt + φ)

Stapsgewijze handleiding

  1. 1Enter amplitude A, angular frequency ω, initial phase φ
  2. 2Calculate position, velocity, and acceleration at time t
  3. 3Analyze period T = 2π/ω

Uitgewerkte voorbeelden

Invoer
A = 0.5 m, ω = 2 rad/s, t = 0.5 s
Resultaat
x ≈ 0.24 m, v ≈ -0.87 m/s
Oscillation position and velocity

Veelgemaakte fouten om te vermijden
