 An oscillating system is an object
Oscillating that moves back and forth,
repeatedly returning to its initial
Systems state after a period of time.

At the equilibrium point, no net

forces are acting on the object. This
is the point in the pendulum swing
when it's in a vertical position.

A constant force or a restoring force

acts on the object to produce the
oscillating motion.
 Any motion that
Simple Harmonic
experiences a restoring
Motion force proportional to the
displacement of the system.
 Examples of Simple
Harmonic Motion
When a guitar string is plucked, it moves a
certain distance. The string returns to its
starting point and travels nearly the same
distance in the opposite direction.

The back and forth, repetitive movements

of the swing against the restoring force is
the simple harmonic motion.
 Examples of Simple
Harmonic Motion

It swings in a vertical plane under the

influence of gravity. It begins to oscillate
about its mean position.

Springs are attached to the wheel of the

cars to ensure a safe ride to the passengers.
The restoring force on the spring will push
the car wheel back into place.

acting on the bob are the
force of gravity and
