Periodic Motion
motion in which a body moves back and forth with a fixed path over a
definite interval of time.
Harmonic Motion
Periodic motion with no friction that is produced by a restoring
force that is directly proportional to the displacement and oppositely directed.
Equilibrium position
this is the point in the motion where the object would be if it were
not subject to any forces.
Amplitude (A)
The maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Cycle
One complete iteration of the motion sequence.
Period (T )
The time it takes to do one cycle.
Frequency ( f )
The number of cycles per unit of time.
Phase points
points along the displacement path where the object is doing the same thing.
Hooke’s Law
This is the force that is
exerted by the spring.

Fs = −kx

the minus sign simply means that the force exerted by the spring is always opposite to
the displacement. (so ignore it)
Maximum Force (Harmonic/Periodic Motion)
Fmax = −kA

Where FMax is the maximum restoring force, k is the spring constant and A is
the amplitude.

the minus sign simply means that the force exerted by the spring is always opposite to
the displacement. (so ignore it)
