What is the minimum conditions for a system to execute SHM?

What is the minimum conditions for a system to execute SHM?

The minimum condition for a body to posses S.H.N. is that it must have elasticity and inertia.

Which is not essential for SHM?

inertia is not required for SHM because light is the most important case of SHM and it has no inertia. otherwise gravity, elasticity or restoring forces are all encountered in SHM systems as essentials parts contributing to the motion being harmonic.

Which one of the following is essential feature of SHM?

1- A restoring force must act on the body. 2- Body must have acceleration in a direction opposite to the displacement and the acceleration must be directly proportional to displacement. 3- The system must have inertia (mass).

Is gravity essential for simple harmonic motion?

Vibrations in a spring are possible without gravity.

Is inertia necessary for SHM?

The direction of this force is important. It opposes the rate of change of velocity. At mean the spring force would be zero. Inertia ,the block would be moving due to inertia .

How does inertia affect sound?

The greater the inertia of an oscillating object the greater the time period. This therefore lowers the frequency of its oscillations. The oscillating objects we’ve looked at up to now all vibrate with a rather special pattern or waveform.

What is a forced oscillator?

Forced oscillations occur when an oscillating system is driven by a periodic force that is external to the oscillating system. In such a case, the oscillator is compelled to move at the frequency νD = ωD/2π of the driving force. Let us, therefore, examine qualitatively the response of an oscillator to a driving force.

What is damping and resonance?

At resonance the amount of energy lost due to damping is equal to the rate of energy supply from the driver. Conversely, if damping is large, the amplitude of oscillations at resonance is less, but the driver will get some response from the system at frequencies some way from resonance.
