Many types of motion involve repetition in which they repeat themselves over and over again. This is called periodic motion or oscillation, and it can be observed in a variety of objects such as grand...Many types of motion involve repetition in which they repeat themselves over and over again. This is called periodic motion or oscillation, and it can be observed in a variety of objects such as grandfather clocks and musical instruments. These objects always contain a stable equilibrium position that the moved body will return to after some displacement. This section will focus on analyzing the oscillations of two simple systems to develop a foundation for the later section's study on waves.
