Question

Any body moving with simple harmonic motion is being acted on by a force that is:__________.

a) proportional to a sine or cosine function of the displacement
b) directly proportional to the displacement
c) proportional to the inverse square of the displacement
d) constant

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this oscillations occur when the restoring force is directly proportional to displacement, given as

F=-kx

Where k= force constant

X= displacement
