Acceleration of a simple harmonic motion
Description
A simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. The motion is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency. The acceleration can be calculated as a function of time, using the amplitude (maximum displacement from the equilibrium position), the angular frequency, and the phase of the harmonic motion.
