B Simple Harmonic Motion: Finding Amplitude, Velocity, and Acceleration

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion on Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), participants seek clarity on calculating amplitude, velocity, and acceleration using the formula x = Asin(omega(t)). There is confusion regarding the origin of this formula and the role of differential equations in understanding SHM. Participants confirm that omega is not a function of time, addressing a common misconception. The conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational formulas in learning SHM concepts. Understanding these principles is crucial for mastering the topic.

I am studying about SHM but I don't know how to find an amplitude,velocity,acceralation of motio. I know the formula but I don't understand where it came from

x = Asin(omega(t))

Question: Do you use basic formulas in class or use differential equations?
And also is omega really a function of time?

Yes, I remembered but I was so confused so I don't know how differential relate to this

I think you know that omega is not a function of time. you have detected a typing 'mistake'..well done
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
