Simple Harmonic Motion - Force, Acceleration, and Velocity at 3 Positions

The video tutorial explains simple harmonic motion using a horizontal mass-spring system. It covers the positions of maximum displacement and rest, discussing the magnitudes of velocity, acceleration, and spring force at these points. The tutorial highlights that velocity is zero at maximum displacement and maximum at the equilibrium position. Hooke's Law is used to explain spring force, and the relationship between spring force and acceleration is explored. The video concludes by emphasizing that simple harmonic motion is not uniformly accelerated, urging students to remember this distinction.

What happens to the direction of velocity as the mass goes through positions one and three?

Explain why the magnitude of the velocity of the mass is maximum at position two.

According to Hooke's law, how is the force of the spring related to the displacement from the equilibrium position?

What does the magnitude of the spring force indicate about the acceleration of the mass?

Why is simple harmonic motion not considered uniformly accelerated motion?
