Simple Harmonic Motion

This chapter covers oscillatory motion, such as springs and pendulums.

Key Concepts:

• Period and frequency

• Springs (Hooke’s Law)

• Pendulums

Sample Question:

A mass on a spring oscillates with a period of 2 s. What is its frequency?

\[f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5\ \text{Hz}\]
