Question

Simple harmonic motion occurs when an object is displaced from its stable equilibrium position and the force or torque pushing it back toward equilibrium is ______ in displacement. Group of answer choices exponential sinusoidal quadratic linear

Answer 1

force is of the LINEAR type

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple harmonic movements the restoring force is of the Hooke e-force type, which has the form

F = - k (x-x₀)

where x₀ is the initial length of the spring.

Therefore we can see this force is of the LINEAR type
