Formulas and Key Relations

2. SHM equations and parameters

x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ)

ω = 2π/T

ν = 1/T

v(t) = -ωA sin(ωt + φ)

a(t) = -ω²A cos(ωt + φ) = -ω²x(t)

3. SHM and uniform circular motion

y(t) = A sin(ωt + φ)

4. Energy in SHM

K = (1/2)mv²

U(x) = (1/2)kx²

E = (1/2)kA²

Frequency ν = 1/T.

Key relations

The SI unit is hertz, where 1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹.
