Vibrations

State the two defining conditions for simple harmonic motion (SHM).

A
  • Acceleration is directly proportional to displacement.
  • Acceleration is always directed towards equilibrium (opposite to displacement).
B
  • Acceleration is directly proportional to displacement.
  • Acceleration is zero at maximum displacement.
C
  • Velocity is directly proportional to displacement.
  • Velocity is always directed towards equilibrium (opposite to displacement).
D
  • Acceleration is inversely proportional to displacement.
  • Acceleration is always directed away from equilibrium (in the same direction as displacement).
