What is the formula for velocity in SHM?
Think about how we derive the velocity from displacement.
Define amplitude in the context of SHM.
Consider what maximum displacement means.
What is the acceleration in SHM proportional to?
Recall the relationship defined by Hooke's law.
In SHM, what is the maximum velocity in terms of angular frequency and amplitude?
Think about where the particle is moving the fastest.
A mass on a spring oscillates with a period of 1.5 seconds. What is the spring constant if the mass is 5 kg?
Plug in values for mass and time period.
If a pendulum has an amplitude of 0.5 m and a frequency of 1 Hz, find its maximum acceleration.
Use the relationship between frequency and angular frequency.
