What is meant by amplitude in simple harmonic motion?
Any simple harmonic motion is of the form x(t) = A cos(w t + a). Here the constant A with dimension [x] is called the amplitude.
Can every oscillatory motion be treated as simple harmonic motion in the limit of small amplitude?
No. Simple harmonic motion requires that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement (and in the opposite direction). It is possible to have periodic motion where that is not the case.
What is the total distance traveled by a body executing simple harmonic motion in a time equal to its period if its amplitude is A?
A body in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A will move a total distance fo 2A in a time equal to one period.
What is the difference between noise and simple harmonic motion?
Simple harmonic motion is motion which is fully determined by its period, amplitude and phase. Noise is the name given to motion where the period is indeterminate. This may be because there is no periodicity or because the motion is a superposition of such a large number of simple harmonic motions of different periodicities that the resultant is almost aperiodic.Simple harmonic motion is motion which is fully determined by its period, amplitude and phase.
