AQA Physics (7407, 7408) A-level SHM-Questions and
Answers
motion of an object if its acceleration is proportional to the displacement of the object from
equilibrium and is always in the opposite direction to displacement Correct Ans-what is
simple harmonic motion
pendulum and mass-spring system Correct Ans-2 examples of SHM
at equilibrium positon Correct Ans-when is velocity at it's maximum
at maximum displacement Correct Ans-when is when is velocity 0
at maximum displacement in the opposite direction Correct Ans-when is acceleration
maximum
the displacement from the equilibrium position to the maximum displacement Correct
Ans-what's the amplitude of a SHM
, AQA Physics (7407, 7408) A-level SHM-Questions and
Answers
the number of cycles per second Correct Ans-what is frequency
2π/T or 2πf where T is time period and f is frequency Correct Ans-what is angular
frequency w
for 2 objects oscillating with the same time period, T, the phase difference is 2π*t/T, where t
is the time between successive instants when two objects are at maximum displacement in
the same direction Correct Ans-what is phase difference
multiply by 360/2π Correct Ans-how to convert radians to degrees
x = A*cos(w*t)
where A is the amplitude, w is the angular frequency and t is time Correct Ans-what is
displacement,x, equal to when is starts from maximum amplitude
