1
Q
What is meant by simple harmonic motion
A
An object undergoing SHM will oscillate about an equilibrium position with a restoring force and acceleration that is proportional to the displacement, but in the opposite direction
2
Q
What is resonance
A
resonance is a phenomenon that only occurs when the frequency at which a force is periodically applied is equal or nearly equal to one of the natural frequencies of the system
