Kinematics of Linear SHM Calculator Results (detailed calculations and formula below)
The position of an oscillating object at any instant of a SHM is m
The velocity of an oscillating object at any instant of a SHM is m/s
The acceleration of an oscillating object at any instant of a SHM is m/s2
Position of the object calculation
x(t) = A × sin(/T × t + φ)
x(t) = × sin(2 × / × + )
x(t) = × sin(/ × + )
x(t) = × sin( × + )
x(t) = × sin()
x(t) = ×
x(t) =
Velocity of the object calculation
v(t) = A × /T × sin(/T × t + φ)
v(t) = × 2 × / × sin(2 × / × + )
v(t) = × / × sin(/ × + )
v(t) = × × sin( × + )
v(t) = × × sin()
v(t) = × ×
v(t) =
Acceleration of the object calculation
a(t) = -A × (/T)2 × cos(/T × t + φ)
a(t) = - × (2 × /)2 × cos(2 × / × + )
a(t) = - × (/)2 × cos(/ × + )
a(t) = - × ()2 × cos( × + )
a(t) = - × × cos()
a(t) = - × ×
