Defining Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) Practice Test

The motion must be sinusoidal in nature with a constant frequency and amplitude that remains unchanged over time

The motion must exhibit equal time intervals for each complete cycle and maintain constant total mechanical energy

The restoring force must be proportional to displacement with the proportionality constant being positive and velocity-independent

The net force must be proportional to displacement from equilibrium and directed toward the equilibrium position at all times
