Question

SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION 1.0 Objective To study simple harmonic motion by observing the motion of a simple pendulum. 2.0 Simple harmonic motion Oscillatory motion is extremely common in nature. Examples include waves (water, sound, earthquake, etc.) and vibrations produced by musical instruments. If the oscillation is characterized by a constant frequency and amplitude (if the motion reproduces itself in a fixed time period T), then the motion is said to be "harmonic." If the oscillation can be described as a sinusoidal function of time and position, the motion is said to be "simple harmonic." Simple harmonic motion (SHM) occurs when for every applied force or torque, there is a restoring force or torque which is proportional to the displacement of the system from its equilibrium position. 2.0.1 Name two real-world examples of harmonic motion. (Hint: Southern California is known for what sort of natural disasters?)

Answer 1

the waves in the sea, leaves of the trees, cables in the bridges, pendulum clock

Step-by-step explanation:

In nature there are many examples of simple harmonic motion, for example.

* The movement of the waves in the sea is an oscillation movement up and down

* The movement of the leaves of the trees when a wind blows and then stops, but the leaf and branches are oscillating

* The movement of the cables in the bridges, especially in the suspension bridges

* The movement of a pendulum clock
