QUE S T I O N S A N D A N S W E R S ( physics form four )

Chapter one
1. Define periodic motion?
❖ Periodic motion is a motion of an object that regularly returns to a given position
after a fixed time interval
2. What is the potential energy?
❖ potential energy is equal to the product of average applied force & the displacement
3. Define simple harmonic motion?
❖ simple harmonic motion is a 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
❖ simple harmonic motion this is a type of motion under the influence of restoring
force described by the hooke,s law
4. What is the difference b/w displacement of SHM & Amplitude?
❖ displacement of SHM is the distance from equilibrium position in either direction
❖ Amplitude is the maximum displacement from mean position in either direction
5. Define simple pendulum?
❖ simple pendulum is a device used to measure a time
❖ simple pendulum is a mass on the end of a string which oscillates in harmonic motion
6. Distinguish b/w period and frequency?
❖ Period is the time taken to make one complete cycle
❖ Frequency is the number of cycle made in one second
7. Mention the period of simple pendulum depends on?
The period of simple pendulum depends on
❖ The length of the string
❖ The acceleration due to gravity
8. Define hooke,s law?
❖ hooke,s law states that the restoring force applied by a spring is proportional to the
Displacement of the spring and opposite in direction

10. Define oscillatory motion?
❖ oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of an object from its mean
position
11. What is the difference between velocity and acceleration?
