In this video, we look at simple harmonic motion (SHM) and explore essential concepts including how linear and angular speed are interconnected, key differences between linear and angular acceleration, and the critical connection between frequency and period. You’ll also learn useful techniques for calculating energy in SHM systems and enjoy a comprehensive overview of forced vibration and resonance, illustrated with real-life examples. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: 1. Define simple harmonic motion 2. Show the relationship between i) linear and angular speed and ii) linear and angular acceleration. 3. Show the relationship between period and frequency. 4. Calculate the energy in the system 5. Explain forced vibration and resonance.
