MediumWhat are the two basic characteristics of a simple harmonic motion?
(N/A) The two basic characteristics of a simple harmonic motion are:
$(i)$ The acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to its displacement from the mean position,i.e.,$a \propto -x$.
$(ii)$ The direction of the acceleration is always towards the mean position,which is opposite to the direction of displacement.
