Which demonstrates simple harmonic motion? a player dribbling a basketball a chandelier swinging from the ceiling a lion pacing the length of a cage a spring compressed in a ballpoint pen

Respuesta :

The answer is B, since simple harmonic motion means restores the objects equilibruim, the chandelier is the only object that is swinging and restored back to it's equilibruim.

Answer : The correct option is (b).

Explanation :

The type of motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of a particle form the equilibrium position. This force acts in opposite direction.

[tex]F\propto -x[/tex]

x is the displacement

The example that shows the simple harmonic motion is (b) " a chandelier swinging from the ceiling ". This is because a chandelier moves to and fro from its equilibrium position and restores it.
