in simple harmonic motion, consider that i have a pendulum tied to a mass m when we say the mass has angular vecocity omega is it by considering the the motion of the mass in a circle about an axis perpendicular to the circle?

Question

in simple harmonic motion, consider that i have a pendulum tied to a mass m when we say the mass has angular vecocity omega  is it by considering the the motion of the mass in a circle about an axis perpendicular to the circle?

jamesj · Answer

yes, but unlike uniform circular motion, the angular velocity is constantly changing.
