Question 1.
What does SHM stand for?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the term itself and what it describes.
Question 2.
What is the formula for the restoring force in SHM?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it relates to displacement and the spring constant.
3Question 3.
What is the condition for Simple Harmonic Motion?
- Restoring force is zero
