The motion of Earth orbiting the sun is periodic.
Earth’s Orbit
the force exerted by a compressed spring is used to release a ball.
Pinball
Measurements show that the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the mass
Restoring force
the maximum displacement from equilibrium.
Amplitude
the time it takes to execute a complete cycle of motion.
Period T
the number of cycles of vibrations per unit time.
frequency f
states that the strain of the material is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that material.
