SHM and the quantities on the graphs
SHM and the quantities on the graphs
An oscillator moves to and fro about an equilibrium position, where the resultant force would be zero. In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is proportional to the displacement and always directed back toward equilibrium:
Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A Level Physics Oscillator graphs for A Level Physics. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
