Need help with simple harmonic motion!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
If a particle undergoes SHM with amplitude 0.18 m, what is the total distance it travels in one period? 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution My physics teacher did not explain any of this to us, and I just don't know where to start! |

Hi JenMel,
The amplitude is the distance from the point of equilibrium to the point furthest from equilibrium that the particle reaches. |
