(i) simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where restoring force acts in the direction opposite to displacement and is directly proportinal to it. e g motion of a spring. In motion of a satellite neither the force is opposite to displacement nor it is directly proportional to it. It is...

(i) simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where restoring force acts in the direction opposite to displacement and is directly proportinal to it. e g motion of a spring. In motion of a satellite neither the force is opposite to displacement nor it is directly proportional to it. It is just a type of periodic motion. (ii) when a aeroplane engine runs, it generates sound in various frequencies. Every matter in the world has a natural frequency of vibration of its own. when the frequency of sound produced matches the natural frequency of vibration, it causes resonance and vibration with a larger amplitude. this causes rattling sound of windows. (iii) time period of simple pendulum is directly proportional to square root of the length. so if length quadraples time period doubles. read less

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?
The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
