Hooke’s Law

Hooke’s Law

States when a force is exerted to extend or compress a spring, the restoring force is proportional to the displacement

Hooke’s law Formula

F = -ks (where k is the spring constant and s is the extension/displacement of the string )

Simple Harmonic Motion

When the objects acceleration towards a fixed point is directly proportional to its displacement from the fixed point.

Formula for Simple Harmonic Motion.

a = -w²x {w² is a constant}
