Velocity and Acceleration in SHM
Unit: Oscillations
Prerequisites
Lesson Preview
In simple harmonic motion, velocity varies sinusoidally with time and depends on position in a specific way.
Velocity as a Function of Time
A property of SHM is that the velocity will be a quarter period ahead of the displacement. We can observe this as a shift in the position function to the left by . It is also scaled by so that it has a max amplitude .
