Answer:

•→ The motion of a particle or body in S.H.M acts towards a fixed point.

•→ Acceleration of the body under S.H.M is proportional to its displacement.

•→ This motion is periodic.

•→ Mechanical energy is conserved in S.H.M

Step-by-step explanation:

S.H.M is Simple Harmonic Motion

SHM stands for Simple harmonic motion

Properties:-


\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow Particle\:moves\:in\:one\:dimension.


\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow Particle\:moves\:towards\:a\:fixed\;mean\:position\:where\:F_(net)=0.


\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow Net\:Force\:on\:the\:particle\:is\:always\:directed\:towards\:mean\:position.


\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow Magnitude\:of\:net\;force\:is\:always\:proportional\:to\:the\:displacement\:of\:particle\:from\:the\:mean\:position\:at\:that\:constant.

So


\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow \boxed{\sf F_(net)=-kx}

  • k=Force constant


\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow ma=-kx

  • m stands for mass
  • a stands for acceleration


\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow a=(-k)/(m)x

Or


\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow a=-\omega^2x

Where


\bull\sf \omega=Angular\:Frequency


\\ \boxed{\bull\tt\dashrightarrow (d^2x)/(dt^2)=-\omega^2x}

This equation is called as the differential equation of S.H.M
