SHM is described by sinusoidal position, velocity, and acceleration functions. A spring-mass oscillator is one type of system that undergoes SHM. The period of a spring-mass oscillator is related to its mass and spring constant.Sections:00:00 - Intro00:15 - Restoring forces02:10 - Periodic motion and SHM04:33 - Period of spring-mass systems06:21 - Position-time graph and position function09:34 - Is it a sine or a cosine? 10:50 - Velocity-time graph for SHM12:15 - Acceleration-time graph for SHM12:51 - Putting it all together------------------Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
