person swinging at 10° can increase their swing's period by doing which of the Have a person give them an extra push, increasing their velocity. Swing at the same velocity at 5 degrees.
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.
![Around 1870, Fred Goldsmith threw a baseball a couple degrees to his right of the pitcher. What happened
next was a phenomenon known as the curve ball. The ball curved back to the left, directly in front of the
pitcher. Where is the air pressure the lowest on the ball as it travels towards the pitcher?
On the right of the baseball (as seen from Goldsmith)
On the left of the baseball (as seen from Fred Goldsmith).
Directly above the baseball.
Directly below the baseball.
Since the game is held outside, the pressure is the same all around the baseball.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9c456372-5ad3-4246-9b28-3d8571dc7f9a%2F13f25fc9-2e51-4599-b367-7b15d7096a46%2Fvr2sgag_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
