SHM -4

Classical Mechanics Level 2

The relation between the acceleration and displacement of four particles is as follows:

1) $a_x =+2x$

2) $a_x = +2x^2$

3) $a_x = -2x^2$

4) $a_x = -2x$

Which particle is exhibiting Simple Harmonic motion?

SHM principle is 1. The motion has it's acceleration always towards the mean/equilibrium postion ....or toward increasing x - displacement from equilibrium. 2. The magnetude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement x SINCE FORMULAE ARE DERIVED FROM PRINCIPLES ... a= -w^2x
