Simple harmonic motion is defined as a periodic motion of a point along a straight line, such that its acceleration is always towards a fixed point in that line and is proportional to its distance from that point.

Why is it called simple harmonic motion?

The motion of a particle moving along a straight line with an acceleration whose direction is always towards a fixed point on the line and whose magnitude is proportional to the distance from the fixed point is called simple harmonic motion.

Why is SHM important?

Whilst simple harmonic motion is a simplification, it is still a very good approximation. Simple harmonic motion is important in research to model oscillations for example in wind turbines and vibrations in car suspensions.

What are two basic characteristics of SHM?

Solution : The two basic characteristics of a simple harmonic motion :  (i) Acceleration is directly proportional to displacement.

(ii) The direction of acceleration is always towards the mean position, that is opposite to displacement.

A cannonball is fired vertically upwards at 100.0 m/s a) How long will it take to return to the cannon? b) what is it's maximum
V125BC [204]
Answer:
a) 20s
b) 500m

Explanation:
Given the initial velocity = 100 m/s, acceleration = -10m/s^2 (since it is moving up, acceleration is negative), and at the maximum height, the ball is not moving so final velocity = 0 m/s.

To find time, we apply the UARM formula:

v final = (a x t) + v initial

Replacing the values gives us:

0 = (-10 x t) + 100

-100 = -10t

t = 10s

It takes 10s for the the ball to reach its max height, but it must also go down so it takes 2 trips, once going up and then another one going down, both of which take the same time to occur

So 10s going up and another 10s going down:

10x2 = 20s

b) Now that we have v final = 0, v initial = 100, a = -10, t = 10s (10s because maximum displacement means the displacement from the ground to the max height) we can easily find the displacement by applying the second formula of UARM:

Δy = (1/2)(a)(t^2) + (v initial)(t)

Replacing the values gives us:

Δy = (1/2)(-10)(10^2) + (100)(10)

= (-5)(100) + 1000

= -500 + 1000

= 500 m

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

Explain the difference between si base units and derived units. give an example of each
34kurt
Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s
