1
New cards

Define oscillations

backward and forward motion between two limits

2
New cards

Define free oscillations

No energy loss or gain

3
New cards

Define simple harmonic motion.

occurs when acceleration is proportional to displacement from a fixed point and in the opposite direction

4
New cards

Define damping

the loss of energy from an oscillating system

when there is a resistive force acting on the system

5
New cards

Define resonance

involves a maximum amplitude of oscillations and that this occurs when an

oscillating system is forced to oscillate at its natural frequency

6
New cards

State what is meant by centripetal acceleration

acceleration perpendicular to velocity
