Physics A level revision resource: Importance of harmonic motion

simple harmonic Simple harmonic motion can serve as a mathematical model for a variety of motions, but is typified by the oscillation of a mass on a spring when it is subject

Simple harmonic motion is defined as a periodic motion of a point along a straight line, such that its acceleration is always towards a fixed point in that line simpleslots Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion Two simple systems of SHM that are mainly discussed in college are an ideal spring and a simple
