In simple harmonic motion, the maximum displacement from the mean position is called what?
Correct Answer: Amplitude
- Step 1: Understand what simple harmonic motion is. It is a type of repetitive movement where an object moves back and forth around a central point.
- Step 2: Identify the 'mean position.' This is the central point where the object is at rest when not moving.
- Step 3: Recognize that during the motion, the object moves away from the mean position.
- Step 4: The farthest point the object reaches from the mean position is what we are looking for.
- Step 5: This farthest point is known as the 'maximum displacement.'
- Step 6: The term used to describe this maximum displacement in simple harmonic motion is 'amplitude.'
