Periodic Motion
Simple periodic motion is that motion in which a
body moves back and forth over a fixed path,
returning to each position and velocity after a
definite interval of time.

Period, T, is the time
for one complete
oscillation. (seconds,s)
Frequency, f, is the
number of complete
oscillations per
second. Hertz (s-1)
Example 1: The suspended mass makes 30
complete oscillations in 15 s. What is the
period and frequency of the motion?

Simple Harmonic Motion, SHM
Simple harmonic motion is periodic motion in
the absence of friction and produced by a
restoring force that is directly proportional to
the displacement and oppositely directed.

F
A restoring force, F, acts in
the direction opposite the
displacement of the
oscillating body.
F = -kx
Hooke’s Law
When a spring is stretched, there is a restoring
force that is proportional to the displacement.
F = -kx

The spring constant k is a

• Displacement is positive when the position is
to the right of the equilibrium position (x = 0)
and negative when located to the left.
• The maximum displacement is called the
amplitude A.

The frequency f and the period T can be found if
the spring constant k and mass m of the vibrating
body are known. Use consistent SI units.

Summary
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is that motion in
which a body moves back and forth over a fixed
path, returning to each position and velocity
after a definite interval of time.
The frequency (rev/s) is the
reciprocal of the period (time
for one revolution).
