Simple Harmonic Motion_the nasty math
Hi All,
I will briefly cover simple harmonic motion tomorrow in class but I will spare one and all the math proving why sinusoidals (remember, x(t) = Acos(wt + phi) result from such periodic, oscillatory phenomena. For those who are curious, there is a great site explaning in detail the math (not too hard but you have to remember the difference between first and second derivatives). It is http://www.mcasco.com/p1vib.html (on vibration).
