Practice question

**Distinction between periodic and oscillatory** clarifies all SHM is periodic but not all periodic is SHM. SHM requires linear restoring force and inertia, a ∝ -x, with ω = √(k/m). Functions like sin²ωt have period π/ω but lack a = -ω² x, thus periodic not SHM, while uniform circular motion is periodic without linear oscillation. Velocity: v = -ω A sin (ω t) , but given v = -10 cos (5t) . ω = 5 s⁻¹, vₘₐₓ = ω A = 10 ⇒ A = (10/5) = 2 m . Applying x = A cos(ωt + φ), v = -ωA sin(ωt + φ), a =
