Q: A particle is executing S.H.M. What fraction of its energy is kinetic when the displacement is half the amplitude?
============================================
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a type of periodic motion where an object oscillates about a fixed point, called the equilibrium position, with a constant amplitude (maximum displacement) and a constant frequency (number of oscillations per unit time).
Characteristics of SHM:
1. _Periodic motion_: The object moves back and forth in a regular, repeating pattern.
2. _Fixed equilibrium point_: The object oscillates about a fixed point, returning to it after each cycle.
3. _Constant amplitude_: The maximum displacement from the equilibrium point remains constant.
4. _Constant frequency_: The number of oscillations per unit time remains constant.
5. _Sinusoidal motion_: The displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the object vary sinusoidally with time.
Examples of SHM:
1. Mass-spring system
2. Pendulum (for small angles)
3. Vibrating strings
4. Oscillating circuits (LC circuits)
Equations of SHM:
1. Displacement: x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ)
2. Velocity: v(t) = -Aω sin(ωt + φ)
3. Acceleration: a(t) = -Aω² cos(ωt + φ)
where:
A = amplitude
ω = angular frequency
φ = phase angle
t = time
SHM has many applications in physics, engineering, and other fields, including:
1. Mechanical systems
2. Electrical circuits
3. Sound waves
4. Light waves
5. Quantum mechanics
