C.1.6—SHM graphs Topic Practice
Read and sketch SHM displacement, velocity and acceleration graphs, keeping the correct signs, phase shifts and turning points.
How this is tested
- choose the correct v-t, x-t or a-t graph from stated release conditions such as rest at -x
- sketch a velocity-time graph for one period with the correct sinusoidal shape, amplitude and T
- use a labelled SHM graph to identify where velocity is zero or where acceleration is negative
