Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.

**Analysis Scenario:**
A toy car rolls along a track and up a hill to its highest point (C). The student selects energy bar charts to show energy distribution at different locations (A, B, and C) on the track. One of these charts is incorrect. Determine the incorrect chart, explain the error, and suggest a better representation.
### Key Energy Types:
- **Kinetic Energy**: Represented in red
- **Gravitational Potential Energy**: Represented in green
- **Dissipated Energy**: Represented in orange
- **Elastic Potential**: Represented in purple (though is not used here)
### Track Locations and Energy Bar Charts:
- **Location A:**
- Bar Chart: Mainly red (high kinetic energy) and some green (potential energy)
- Appropriate for high speed and moderate elevation
- **Option 3 of 6**
- **Location B:**
- Bar Chart: Equal parts green and orange, with a small red segment
- Indicates potential and dissipated energy, with less kinetic
- **Option 2 of 6**
- **Location C:**
- Bar Chart: High green (potential energy), minor red, and more orange
- Reflects the car’s stop at the peak, converting kinetic energy to potential and dissipated energy due to friction and air resistance
- **Option 5 of 6**
### Consideration:
- Elements like friction, air resistance, and collisions are crucial in interpreting energy transformation accurately.
### Task:
Identify which energy distribution (A, B, or C) is incorrect, justify why, and recommend a revised chart approach based on energy principles.
This scenario aids in understanding energy conservation and transformation as the toy car moves over the track, emphasizing real-world factors like friction and air resistance.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F66b3ab97-efdb-4690-86ae-d4c83b81eb12%2F82c2661b-ba6b-48c7-8901-e9cbd3203fb5%2Flkd9pqe_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
