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
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
