State five characteristics of SHM.

Explanation

(i) Displacement : The displacement of a particle executing linear SHM, at an instant is defined as the distance of the particle from the mean position at that instant.
(ii) Velocity :
Is defined as the rate of change of the displacement of the particle at the given instant.
(iii) Amplitude :
The maximum displacement on either side of mean position.
(iv) Acceleration :
It is defined as the rate of change of the velocity of the particle at the given instant.
(v) Time period :
It is defined as the time taken by the particle executing S.H.M to complete one full vibration.
