motion.
- SHM is motion in which
a body moves back and
forth over a fixed path,
returning to each position
and velocity after a
definite interval of time.
3. Teacher gives examples of
simple harmonic motion
which are
a) Oscillation of a loaded
spring
b) Oscillation of a simple
pendulum
c) Vibration of atoms and
molecules
d) Motion of the prongs of
a tuning fork
4. Teacher explain about
conditions for SHM to
occur which are:
a) There must be an
elastic restoring force

2
 acting on the system.
b) The system must have
inertia.
c) The acceleration of the
system should be
directly proportional to
its displacement and is
always directed to
mean position.
5. Teacher explains about
Hookes law.
- When a spring is
stretched, there is a
restoring force that is
proportional to the
displacement
F= -kx
6. Teacher shows an example
regarding Hookes Law.
- A load of 50 N attached to
a spring hanging vertically
stretches the spring 5.0 cm.
The spring is now placed
horizontally on a table and
stretched 11.0 cm. What
force is required to stretch
the spring this amount?
7. Teacher explains the
definition of amplitude of
SHM.
- Amplitude defined as the
maximum magnitude of
the displacement from
the equilibrium position.
8. Teacher explains the
definition of period of
SHM.

3
 - Period is defined as the
time taken for one cycle.
9. Teacher explains the
definition of frequency of
SHM.
- Frequency is defined as
the number of cycles in
one second.
10. Teacher shows an
animation of amplitude,
period and frequency.
11. Teacher show an example
regarding amplitude, period
and frequency.
