motion that repeats itself |
| oscillator |
system in harmonic motion |
| period |
time for one cycle |
| peridoic motion |
harmonic motion that repeats every period |
| eqilibrium |
systems that move back and around a central position |
| natural frequency |
systems tend to oscillate when disturbed |
| peridoic force |
force that oscilates in strength or direction |
