Since amplitude can vary, it is inconvenient to set "0" at the maximum swing point. This can move your zero and all successive measurements with just a touch. Additionally, "simple harmonic motion" is easily described by combinations of the sine and cosine functions, and they yield positive and negative values of equal magnitudes. So it is *easier* to set zero at "mid span".

A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves
by using the formula we will calculat time period of simple harmonic motion
The difference between positive and negitive motion is.. that this website stinks and idk. go check somewhere else trust me.
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.
Simple Harmonic motion is circular motion. Look at a graph showing simple harmonic motion... you'll see it.
No, a wheel spinning is rotational motion, not harmonic motion. Harmonic motion refers to a type of periodic motion where a system oscillates around an equilibrium position.
The motion of a pendulum is periodic but not necessarily harmonic if the amplitude of the oscillation is large enough to cause deviations from simple harmonic motion due to gravitational forces.
Yes, the motion of a metronome is an example of harmonic motion. The swinging motion of the metronome follows a repetitive pattern back and forth, which can be described using simple harmonic motion equations.
Velocity can have positive or negative value depending on the direction of the change in position. Positive velocity indicates motion in one direction, while negative velocity indicates motion in the opposite direction.
Periodic motion refers to any motion that repeats at regular intervals, while simple harmonic motion is a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. In simple terms, all simple harmonic motion is periodic, but not all periodic motion is simple harmonic.
Simple harmonic motion
The difference between simple harmonic motion and harmonic motion is SHM is a periodic motion.
A pendulum is not considered simple harmonic motion because its motion is affected by factors like air resistance and friction, which can cause deviations from the idealized simple harmonic motion pattern.

Circular motion can be considered a type of periodic motion, where an object moves in a circular path with a constant speed. Harmonic motion, on the other hand, is a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. While circular motion is periodic, it does not necessarily exhibit the characteristics of harmonic motion.
