TOPIC 17 · A LEVEL

Oscillations

See how displacement, velocity, acceleration and energy evolve through SHM—and how damping reshapes resonance.

TOPIC 17

Oscillations

Model simple harmonic motion, its energy transfers, damping, forced oscillations and resonance. The diagrams make phase, restoring acceleration, energy transfer and resonance visible.
