Question 1 of 11

What is the defining characteristic of Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)? 🤔

The restoring force is constant

The restoring force is proportional to the square of the displacement

The restoring force is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction

The restoring force is zero
