-object/variable can move back and forth, increase/decrease, go up and down over and
over
-mass on a string, pendulum
-has restoring force
Back
frequency
Front
-F=number of cycles/number of seconds
-F=1/T
-f= 1/2pi square root k/m
Back
Simple harmonic motion
Front
-displacement proportional to restoring force, pull back 2x far get 2x restoring force
-described by sine and cosine
-FORCE IS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO VELOCITY/SPEED
-how can there be a force when there is no velocity?
-repetitive motion when a restorative force acting on an object it proportional to its
displacement

-Us = ½ F x
-Us = ½ k x^2

-T=2pi square root of L/g
Back
period
Front
-T= number seconds / number of cycles
-T=1/f
-T= 2 pi square root mass / k

graphs
Front
-position = Acos(wt)
-w= 2pi/T cause w = delta theta / change in t
-sin graph with time vs position
