Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The restoring force in simple harmonic motion is directly proportional to what? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what restoring force means. It is the force that brings an object back to its original position.
  • Step 2: Know that in simple harmonic motion, this force depends on how far the object is from its original position.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the further the object is from its original position, the stronger the restoring force will be.
  • Step 4: Learn the relationship: the restoring force (F) is proportional to the displacement (x) from the original position.
  • Step 5: Remember the formula: F = -kx, where k is a constant that shows how strong the restoring force is.
