A
AmplitudeThe maximum displacement from equilibrium. | |
D
DisplacementThe distance and direction of an object from equilibrium. | |
E
Equilibrium positionThe central position where the net restoring force is zero. | |
F
FrequencyThe number of complete oscillations per second. | |
H
Hertz(Hz) – The unit of frequency, equal to one oscillation per second. | |
O
OscillationRepeated motion back and forth around an equilibrium position. | |
P
PeriodThe time required for one complete oscillation. | |
Periodic motionMotion that repeats after equal intervals of time. | |
R
Restoring forceA force that acts toward the equilibrium position. | |
S
Simple harmonic motion(SHM) – Oscillatory motion in which the restoring force is proportional to displacement and directed toward equilibrium. | |
