🗑
Inertia can be referred to as   Kinetic energy  
🗑
Inertia and restoring forces (RF) vary continuously during cycle: ______ is stronger when ______ is weak (when times are more displaced); _____ is strong when _______ is weak (around rest position); Interplay between the two forces lets vibration persist   Restoring forces, inertia, inertia, resting forces  
🗑

🗑
(Tuning fork example) Initial impact (your finger touches it) starts movement (________) away from the rest   Displacement  
🗑
