QUESTION:
Is the acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator ever zero? If so, where?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The acceleration of the oscillator is directly proportional to the displacement but opposite in the direction in simple harmonic motion.
The acceleration of the simple harmonic oscillator is given by
Here, is the maximum acceleration, is the angular frequency and is the displacement.
