1
New cards

Equilibrium position

The position where the object would rest if all energy was removed from the system.

2
New cards

Oscillations

Periodic back and forth motion.

3
New cards

Amplitude

The distance between the crest (or trough) of a wave and its equilibrium position.

4
New cards

Time period

The time taken to complete a full cycle.

5
New cards

Angular frequency

The angle covered by a simple harmonic motion oscillator per second.

6
New cards

Simple harmonic motion

Oscillations around an equilibrium position where the displacement is proportional to the negative acceleration.

7
New cards

Energy in a mass-spring system/Pendulum

Elastic potential energy - maximum at the ends, zero at equilibrium
Kinetic energy - maximum at equilibrium, zero at the ends
Total energy - constant
