Practice question
Question
Which function represents SHM? ( omega is a positive constant)
Explanation
SHM requires a = -omega² x : (a) 5 cos (3omega t + π/6) : a = -5 (3omega)² cos (3omega t + π/6) = -omega² x, SHM. (b) sin omega t + cos 2omega t : Not SHM (mixed frequencies). e^{-omega t : Not periodic. (d) sin² omega t : Periodic, not SHM.
