The motion of a body is simple harmonic if the - JAMB Physics 2021 Question

The motion of a body is simple harmonic if the?

A

acceleration is always directed towards a fixed point

B

path of motion is a straight line

C

acceleration is proportional to the square of the distance from a fixed point

D

acceleration is constant and directed towards a fixed point

correct option: a

In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion where the restoring force on the moving object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the object's displacement and acts towards the object's equilibrium position. Wikipedia
