There is a close connection between circular motion and simple harmonic motion, according to Boston University. Consider a point on the rim of a disk as it rotates counterclockwise at a constant ...

The shadow projections of uniform circular motion and simple harmonic motion look identical when the periods of the respective motions are the same. The moving objects are a ping pong ball on a ...

You might recognize those terms, because we've already talked about them in our episode on uniform circular motion. And that's no coincidence! Simple harmonic motion is actually a lot like uniform ...
