Oscillations Module

Type of activity: practical
Activity code:  00000

Concepts

  • Periodic and simple harmonic motion.
  • Simple harmonic motion as one component of uniform circular motion.
  • Pendulums when the small angle approximation is not valid.
  • Double pendulums, spring-mass systems with an oscillating support point, and chaotic systems.
