Simple Harmonic Movement

Introduction to the Simple Harmonic Movement

This page is for the student to observe the representation of the Simple Harmonic Movement (S.H.M. from now on), identifying the principle magnitudes which intervene, and visualizing the values of these in different cases, as well as the variations which they experience at different instants and positions.

OBJECTIVES

To identify the S.H.M. as a periodic, oscillatory and vibratory movement.

To visualize a body which describes an S.H.M.

To define and identify the principle physical magnitudes which intervene in an S.H.M.

To visualize and interact with the graphs which represent these magnitudes.

To visualize the relation which exists between the S.H.M. and the Uniform Circular Movement.
